Low-cost carrier, kulula.com, has opened its website for bookings today, ahead of the first flights on December 1.
“We are excited to be returning to the skies, and with competition being restored in the domestic market, the flying public can once again expect to achieve low airfares. We are proud to continue our kulula heritage of offering affordable airfares after introducing low-cost flying in South Africa close to 20 years ago,” says Glenn Orsmond, representing the Comair Rescue Consortium.
“This is an important moment for Comair, for all the employees who have been so patient and supportive through the business rescue process, for our customers, the flying public and the country.
“A strong, competitive airline sector benefits everyone and we’re looking forward to welcoming our first customers on board and gradually restoring our schedule and network.”
A spokesperson for the Business Rescue Practitioners said there are still some procedures to be completed before the company can offer bookings on British Airways operated by Comair, or on flights sold via GDSs by travel agents. But he says Comair looks forward to soon being able to provide all booking options across both airline brands
British Airways’ domestic and regional flights will reopen soon, as will kulula’s Lanseria flights, said a press release.
Glenn said Comair would initially operate a fleet of 15 aircraft across both airline brands, and that would gradually increase as the remainder of the fleet returned to service over the next few months.
