Time to dust off this tweet again.
Lots of questions lately about how airline pricing works. The first 7 minutes of this video is a perfect explanation. #flightpricing youtube.com/watch?v=jxKg65Ai…

On-time performance starts long before pushback. Thank you to the ATC teams at @ATNSSA and across the region, our partners on every single flight.
Behind every smooth take-off, landing and on-time arrival is a team of air traffic controllers keeping a watchful eye on our skies. They’re trusted partners to our pilots, helping them stay on course and connected every step of the way. With over 5,000 FlySafair flights taking to the skies each month, we’re giving a big thank you to these headset heroes who help guide our journeys and get us safely on our way – and home again.

Welcome to the first of many new tour groups that will help us create jobs. SA previously missed out on group tourism from China and India because visas took weeks or months. Our digital Trusted Tour Operator Scheme now issues outcomes within hours. Jobs, jobs and more jobs! 🇿🇦

Hi FlySafair Team, Thank you for building this airline for us and for the whole of South Africa. I've seen us grow from a small airline that was born out of necessity to a world champion of OTP that flies world champions.

The credit belongs to all of you who believed in the dream of being South Africa's favourite airline and that helped build the largest airline in South Africa and who can proclaim to be the nation's carrier.

Our Boks are set to battle the All Blacks at DHL Stadium in Cape Town, and the excitement is off the charts. If you’re lucky enough to be in the stands, or watching close to the stadium, keep your eyes on the skies—something special is coming your way, courtesy of FlySafair.
