WAASPS Cost-Effective Aerial Spraying Agricultural and Sanitary Applications
WAASPS is the first Ultralight air-work, training and aircraft assembly operation in Ghana. One of the most impressive services offered by this sort of aircraft is aerial spraying. In fact, our well-equipped, assembled in Ghana, X-Air 912 agri and CH701 Ultralights can carry up to 150 litres of product – the same capacity as a Bell 47 helicopter! Our CH801 Agri can carry up to 400 litres of product, and still retain the 4 seats for use when not spraying!
Furthermore, our locally recruited and trained ground crew provide an excellent service with rapid turnaround services, enabling us to provide the best possible service - even in limited time window operations.
