Inside Air Du Cap: William Mellor on building a digitally enabled charter service.
At AERO South Africa 2025, African Pilot’s Kent Gibbon caught up with William Mellor, Founder and CEO of Air Du Cap, to discuss the company’s fresh approach to on-demand charter aviation. Standing beside one of the operator’s Beechcraft Baron 58 aircraft, Mellor shares how Air Du Cap has been built from the ground up, starting with a vision to offer flexible charter options. Mellor explains how it took two years to get it all in the air, along with their Air Operator Certificate (AOC).
With aircraft based in both Cape Town and Johannesburg, Air Du Cap provides a high-quality, personalised travel experience featuring premium interiors, Bose headsets, and intuitive digital booking.
Mellor explains how the company’s online platform allows passengers to search routes, get instant pricing, and complete their bookings, all without back-and-forth quoting delays.
Whether you’re flying to the bush, a family farm, to an event, or just between two cities, Air Du Cap is setting a new standard for accessible on-demand private air travel.
