MyBroadband compared flight prices along three routes to determine the cheapest local airline.
FlySafair is the cheapest domestic airline in South Africa, and by some margin on specific routes, a MyBroadband analysis has revealed.
South Africa’s airline industry has suffered several shake-ups in recent years, with South African Airways still wobbling on its feet after a business rescue and Comair ceasing its operations in the country.51% share in SAA to Takatso Consortium for R51The deal was skewed heavily in favour of Takatso, with the association having the right to assess whether the government must settle any ongoing liabilities in SAA.
“R1 billion is allocated to South African Airways to assist the carrier with the business rescue process,” Godongwana said. “Accordingly, the company’s joint business rescue practitioners give notice herewith that they no longer believe that there is a reasonable prospect that the company can be rescued.”FlySafair is the cheapest domestic airline across the board on the three routes we selected for the comparison — Johannesburg to Durban, Cape Town, and George.
However, Lift and SAA don’t currently fly between Johannesburg and George, meaning the comparison for that route was only between FlySafair and Airlink.
