South African private aviation and charter company Fireblade Aviation is marking its 10th anniversary. The company, which began as the Anglo American flight department several decades ago, was rebranded as Fireblade Aviation in 2014. It provides services at Johannesburg OR Tambo International Airport, offering "a one-stop shop for business and leisure travelers, aircraft owners and operators, and tour operators."

Fireblade Aviation's managing director Leigh Kretzschmar commented on the evolving nature of tourism: “Tourism has been in a transformative space in recent years, with charter services being more accessible not only for business travel but leisure and group leisure travel as well. More individuals are realizing that the cost associated with private aviation is not as prohibitive as one might think.”

Kretzschmar also emphasized the importance of industry change: “Driving positive change in our industry starts with expanding our ecosystem, and that means prioritizing sustainability, driving inclusivity and diversity, and driving awareness for the possibilities of a career in aviation amongst our youth, particularly young girls.”
