New SA airline promises May launch
Fly Toucan, which describes itself as a new full-service airline, says it will launch in May this year.
The airline says it will start by servicing destinations that include Southern Africa (SADC), West Africa (ECOWAS Region), East Africa and its offshore islands, Middle East, Asia, UK, Cuba, The Caribbean and The Americas.
Naseer Ismail CEO of Fly Toucan told Travel News the airline will start off with charter flights, with an emphasis on leisure tourism charters, the way package holidays are frequently done in Europe. He said Fly Toucan will work in collaboration with Amrho Tourism, the wholesale tour operator specialist division of its mother company Amrho, and he invites domestic and international airlines to collaborate by means of codeshare, interline and marketing agreements using inter-modal air/ground modules in partnership with Amrho Tourism.
