Scenic Wilderness, Kenya’s first premium shared air charter service, is set to soar with amelia — the next-generation Passenger Service System (PSS) from InteliSys Aviation. This milestone marks a significant leap forward for Scenic Wilderness, as it brings advanced technology and operational flexibility to one of Africa’s most dynamic regional airlines. This partnership signals more than a system upgrade—it marks the start of a digital transformation journey tailored to meet the unique needs of premium regional air travel across East Africa.
Born out of a collaboration between two East African aviation icons—Scenic Air Safaris and Air Wilderness—Scenic Wilderness is redefining the way travellers move between Kenya’s world-renowned safari destinations. The airline’s shared charter model blends the exclusivity and comfort of private aviation with the efficiency and accessibility of scheduled services.
As a premium air charter service, Scenic Wilderness needed a flexible and scalable PSS to support its ambitious growth strategy within a dynamic and fast-changing industry. The airline’s pursuit of adaptability and future-ready technology played a pivotal role in its decision to elevate both service standards and operational efficiency. Equally important was the commitment of a dedicated team—Scenic Wilderness wasn’t just looking for a provider but a true partner to support its long-term vision and growth journey.
“With amelia, we’re not just automating—we’re empowered. From day one, the InteliSys team listened to our goals and worked with us to configure a solution that supports our business model and ambitions.” said Darryl van Dyk, Managing Director at Scenic Wilderness.
Built to support a diverse range of airline business models, amelia delivers the agility, customization, and reliability that forward-thinking carriers like Scenic Wilderness demand. Its modular architecture allows airlines to tailor functionality to their specific needs, while ensuring seamless integration across reservations, inventory management, check-in, and operational control.
What sets InteliSys Aviation apart is not only its technology but also its partnership-first approach—offering responsive, hands-on support and a commitment to long-term collaboration.
“Scenic Wilderness embodies the spirit of innovation in regional aviation, and we’re honoured to support their journey,” said Rob Lalonde, Chief Executive Officer at InteliSys Aviation. "As regional air travel in Africa continues to evolve, the need for agile, scalable airline technology has never been greater. Scenic Wilderness’s go-live with amelia sets a benchmark for how modern charter and hybrid airlines can digitize operations without sacrificing service quality or flexibility.”
This collaboration not only unlocks significant growth potential for both Scenic Wilderness and InteliSys Aviation, but also sets a new standard for regional air travel—bringing passengers across Africa a first-class experience defined by efficiency, flexibility, and innovation.
