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.
