Information:
Incorporated in
1976, Redcoat Express originally began life as a management
company, which oversaw the commercial activities of a cargo
airline which was
Ghanaian-registered.
It later began operating its own cargo aircraft all
over West Africa under the name Redcoat Air Cargo Ltd. Seven
years later, in 1983, Redcoat Express Ltd. was founded representing
the freight forwarding division of the airline.
Its services included carrying freight for scheduled airlines
which were at the time
Sierra Leone
Airlines and British Caledonian Airways operating on the West
African routes.
Offices of Redcoat were established in Banjul, The Gambia,
Freetown, Sierra Leone and in several locations in the US
which are still open today. At Banjul International Airport,
the freight company has made a significant financial investment
in building the Banjul International Freight Centre which
is situated to the right of the main terminal building. The
warehouse facility is furnished with modern security scanners,
temperature controlled and computerised. On hand are local
customs and excise officers who ready to inspect all goods
entering or leaving Gambia from the facility. Such a facility
can also be found at the Port of Banjul which handles the
once a week arrival of containers by sea.
Due to Redcoat's advantageous geographically strategic position
it allowed the company to diversify into procurement and courier
services. This includes its Catalogue Shop which allows customers
in Gambia to order from European and US retailers after browsing
their retail lines in their catalogues. Argos in London
is particularly favoured by the locals. There is a shop on
Kairaba Avenue not far from Westfield Junction.
Redcoat in the US is a Transportation Security Administration
(TSA) International Freight Forwarding Company and Certified
Independent Air Carrier.
