WHY TRAVEL WITH ECHO CHARLIE?

PRIVATE ACCESS
Bypassing the chaos and queues of commercial airports, guests fly direct to each destination and land on the doorstep of each new lodge.
Unparalleled Diversity
Over a 12 days' time, guests will encounter a remarkable range of environments and experiences. In a single arc, you might trace ancient civilisations, follow glaciers to the sea, fish remote waters, or share traditions with horsemen on the steppe. Designed and realised by genuine explorers, each journey ventures off the beaten track to places few have seen.
Timeless Glamour
While the airframe evokes a style of a bygone era, the plane itself is fully refurbished with a brand new interior and modern avionics. It’s aviation as it once was: refined, stylish, and where the journey was part of the enjoyment, not just something to get through.
