03 July 2019

The South African National Parks (SANParks) received a donation of 34 Bose A20 Aviation Headsets from Bose Aviation and Century Avionics for use by both fixed wing and helicopter pilots operating in the Kruger National Park (KNP) on Monday (1 July 2019). The donation will assist in improving communication between aviators and ground crews during conservation operations including anti-poaching. The donation is seen as a crucial tool to both ground and flying crew and was warmly accepted by the KNP management.

Speaking on behalf of Century Avionics, Mr Clinton Farla, has expressed how proud they are to be able to lend a hand in this vigorous fight against poaching and in support of conservation in the iconic KNP, he further explained that the headsets have a five-year warranty and said “we are pleased to hand them over to a unit that will utilize them to their fullest capacity and save our species for future generations “concluded Farla.

His words were echoed by Mr Garmir da Costa from Bose Aviation, who has emphasized that the quality of the headsets will make the job a lot easier for the pilots while on duty. “The headsets are very comfortable and the quality of sound is very clear, which makes it easier for the pilot and passengers to communicate while carrying out their duties.” Said Garmir.
