Sibongile  Sambo dreamt of being a flight attendant, but she failed to meet the  minimum height requirement and was turned away by South African Airways. Instead of accepting defeat, she started her own  company, even selling her car and using her mother’s pension in order to  set it up.But it’s all been worth it, as she’s now laughing all the way to the bank.Sambo officially started <a href="http://www.srsaviation.co.za/" target="_blank">SRS Aviation</a>  in 2004, and it’s the first aviation company in Africa set up by a  woman. She started off brokering contracts for aviation services, and by  later that year had scored a lucrative cargo transport contract with  the South African Government.Later, her focus turned to private  aviation services, and now the company offers VIP charter flights,  tourist charters and helicopter services with the Johannesburg-based  crew flying around the world including to the US and Germany.Ms Sambo says it was tough at the beginning, but the rewards have been totally worth it.“Getting to learn the language, you know alpha, bravo, oscar, it was a challenge but we managed to get over it,” Ms Sambo told <a href="http://www.biznisafrica.co.za/srs-aviation-founder-speaks-about-doing-business-in-africa/" target="_blank">BizNisAfrica</a>.“What  I’m proud of about our company is that we have managed to penetrate the  male dominated industry. On average we do 10 charters per annum, and  that varies, it could be a tourist charter for $1000 or could be a head  of state travelling on a VIP aircraft to the US, which could be about  $200,000.”The company also provides private jet owners with maintenance, sales and fleet management services.While SRS Aviation’s exact earnings aren’t published, a company source told <a href="http://www.forbes.com/sites/mfonobongnsehe/2013/07/15/ten-young-african-millionaires-to-watch-in-2013/2/#54f8785a5c9d" target="_blank">Forbes</a> in 2013 that annual revenue was “several million dollars”.<img src="http://cdn.newsapi.com.au/image/v1/4ceaf2527d5129b39c45635157e74d40" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></blockquote>
