Company Profile:
 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,
Redcoat 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 ready to inspect all goods entering or leaving The
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.
Because of 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.
