About FlySafair

FlySafair launched scheduled flights in 2014 as the low-cost arm of Safair, a South African operator founded in 1965 with a background in cargo, humanitarian airlift and leasing, including decades of Lockheed L-100 Hercules flying. The budget venture grew rapidly as competitors faltered and became a leading force in South African domestic aviation.

FlySafair operates an all-Boeing 737 fleet, mostly 737-800s, on high-frequency domestic trunk routes such as Johannesburg to Cape Town, one of the busiest airline city pairs in the world. The airline is regularly recognised for punctuality and has added regional routes, including services to Mauritius, alongside its core domestic schedule.
