FlySafair is a low-cost carrier airline owned by Safair Group. It operates across 8 different airports in South Africa which are located in Johannesburg, Gqeberha, East London, Durban, George, Cape Town, and Bloemfontein. The only international airport they work with for now is Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam International Airport in Mauritius.<\/strong><\/p>\n

People generally have this stereotype about traveling by air, especially on how expensive they think it is compared to road trips. Well, it is true that traveling by air is more expensive than going by road and usually, only the high class and some middle-class individuals can afford it. But FlySafair, a South African airline that prides itself as a ‘low-cost carrier’, stepped in to make – and is making – the difference.<\/p>\n

As a low-cost carrier, FlySafair is relatively less expensive and you do not have to pay as much as you would have to fork out when flying with other airlines that are not low-cost carriers. Despite being less expensive, they have still been able to offer quality service to customers, maintain the airline, while also using sound fleets.<\/p>\n

FlySafair Was Founded In August 2013 But Started Operations In October 2014<\/strong><\/h2>\n

FlySafair is a subsidiary of Safair Group. Safair was founded in 1965 and since then, it has grown to become one of Africa’s largest aviation service operators. In 2013, the company decided to launch FlySafair, a low-cost airline in Johannesburg, South Africa. Following their decision, they put necessary requirements in place and applied for approval to officially launch later that year. The South Africa Air Service Licensing Council (ASLC) granted FlySafair the approval to begin operations with just 10 daily flights between Cape Town International Airport and OR Tambo International Airport.<\/p>\n
