Viva 2012!
Having experienced numerous highlights in 2011, 1time airline is set to emulate these successes in 2012, judging by developments on the cards for the New Year. These include a new route to Mombasa (Kenya), the opening of dedicated routes from Lanseria International Airport, as well as a general increase in the number of flights available during the year.
From March 2012, 1time will offer two weekly return flights between OR Tambo International Airport and Mombasa International Airport. Mombasa is located on the southern coast of Kenya and is the second East African route for 1time, in addition to its direct Zanzibar (Tanzania) route. It also marks the airline’s third intra-Africa route. The other is Livingstone (Zambia).
This new route will offer 1time customers the chance to explore the many attractions offered by this popular holiday destination, including water sports, water parks, a bustling night life, and an array of culinary delights, both local and international.
In the last week of February 2012, the airline will also begin operating a route from Lanseria International Airport for the first time. Lanseria is a modern airport facility, located less than 50 km from the major centres of Johannesburg and Pretoria. Not only is it an easy airport to access in terms of location, but is also located on highways that are not on the new Gauteng eToll route.
The route will serve Durban and Cape Town twice a day, and mainly cater for the increased business and holiday market in March and April. These routes are designed to offer more flexibility and choice for frequent 1time flyers.
Our general growth has also led to an increase in the scheduled number of flights for next year. Now 1time passengers will have even more opportunities to fly to a variety of destinations during the year.
1time CEO, Rodney James, concludes that these developments are consistent with the airline’s growth. “While we are a fairly young airline, having begun operations in 2004, we have consistently grown since commencing operations, and currently capture a significant portion of the low cost carrier market. Therefore, the time is right to forge ahead with our expansion plans, and create greater value for our customers, as well as our brand. These new developments certainly fit in with our growth strategy, and will ultimately allow us to become South Africa’s premier low cost carrier.”
