TNW Pick: Kulula puts its money where its mouth is

Facing concerns that it could lose market share due to domestic flight delays on BA Comair and low-cost carrier, kulula.com, Comair Limited has budgeted R100 million “to attempt to alleviate the situation while working on long-term solutions”.

This was highlighted in an open letter sent to travel agents by ceo of Comair Limited, Erik Venter.

The latest statistics on airline on-time performance by Airports Company South Africa show that in December last year, BA Comair only achieved an average 67,1% 15-minute on-time performance. Kulula.com recorded an average 64,8%. BA Comair’s year-to-date performance was 76,6% and kulula’s was 73,2%.

Meanwhile, competitor, FlySafair, averaged 93,6% on-time performance for 2018. The airline recorded a 91,9% on-time performance rate for December, followed by Airlink (85%) and SAA (84,9%).
