Premium carrier to launch JNB-CPT flights

18 Nov 2015 - by Dorine Reinstein
Comments | 0

NEW domestic carrier,

FlyGoAir, plans to make

a second attempt

at launching domestic

flights, this time between

Johannesburg and Cape Town.

In November 2012, the

airline launched flights

between Lanseria and Kruger

Mpumalanga International

Airport but ceased operations

on the route immediately

after its inaugural flight.

KMIA’s management issued

a statement saying it had

“distanced” itself from any of

FlyGoAir’s operations after the

airline failed to communicate

its reasons for not operating

services as planned. Ceo,

Reg Sivsanker, told TNW a

decision had been taken at

that time to stop operating

smaller turboprop aircraft

and an application to the

South African Department

of Transport was made for

the amendment of FlyGoAir’s

operating licence to allow it

to operate large jets, which

would allow it to “compete

more favourably in the

marketplace”.

This time, FlyGoAir plans

to launch flights between OR

Tambo International and Cape

Town on June 29 using leased

aircraft from CemAir. The

airline will assist FlyGoAir with

the start-up of its operations

in the market through the

lease of a 50-seat Bombardier

CRJ, which is licensed by

CemAir and will be operated

by CemAir staff, Laura van

der Molen, cfo of CemAir, told

TNW.

FlyGoAir recently announced

on Facebook that it had

opened online bookings for

its premium flights from

Johannesburg to Cape Town

from R1 485, all-inclusive.

According to its website,

the carrier will operate on

Mondays, Wednesdays and

Fridays and will offer premium

services such as lounge

access and complimentary

meals and beverages on

board.
