5 new flights launching in South Africa
South Africa’s remaining domestic airlines are likely to remain under pressure for the next four to five months, said FlySafair CEO Elmar Conradie – with limited flight capacity and rising input costs keeping ticket prices higher than before.
The domestic market has suffered a number of blows this year, with the closure of Comair wiping approximately 40% of the local flight capacity from the market, leaving reaming airlines scrambling to meet demand. This was exacerbated by the liquidation of SA Express last week, with another local airline, Mango, currently in limbo.
