FlySafair Update

FlySafair have relaunched and announced that flights will commence on October 16th 2014. Initially they have offered JNB-CPT and CPT-PLZ at low fares. Baggage is not included.

The following from Travel News Online:

FlySafair has opened ticket sales for the second time, with plans to launch services in October - exactly a year after the airline initially planned to take flight.

FlySafair first opened ticket sales for flights between Johannesburg and Cape Town, in September last year, with the maiden flight scheduled for October 17, 2013. The airline was blocked from launching and forced to re-accommodate and refund passengers after the court granted an interdict sought by competitors, Comair and Skywise.

Now, the airline has opened bookings, with its first flight between Cape Town and Johannesburg set for October 16.
The LCC is advertising fares starting from R499 between Cape Town and Johannesburg and R399 between Cape Town and Port Elizabeth.
Dave Andrew, ceo of FlySafair, said in a statement: “These are not just opening specials or marketing showstoppers to announce the start-up. FlySafair is ready to bring you the value that you deserve.”
