When choosing one of the Airlines in South Africa, it seems as if there are millions of great options. Every airline’s marketing tells you that their airline is the best option to accommodate the largest commuting part of your travels. But which airlines are genuinely the best airlines in South Africa to take you from A to B.
South African Airways
Consistently rated as South Africa’s best airline, and has been flying South Africans across the world since 1934. What makes South African Airways one of the best airlines in South Africa is its consistency. Along with Mango, more on them later, South African Airways holds the top spot for most on-time airlines. This helps tremendously when planning your transport from the airport once you have landed. Or, if you have a business meeting, you can trust this airline to get you there on time.
Kulala.com
Often referred to as the green Dragon – and one look at the exterior wrap of their aircraft will explain why. Kulala is one of the top airlines in South Africa, with their affordable prices and friendly personnel.
SA express
SA Express is usually one of the lesser-known airlines in South Africa, yet don’t let this fool you. SA Express has fantastic flight opportunities, taking you places you would typically need to drive to. Such as Richards or Walvis Bay. However, SA express doesn’t only make these short “private jet-like trips”; they also offer journeys across Southern Africa.
Mango Airlines
Mango has been flying through South African skies since 2006 – ever since their inception. Since then, they have always strived for excellent quality in their regular flights, which other airlines often only include in their higher-end, first-class packing – such as free Wi-Fi for everyone on the flight. The small luxuries like this, combined with their reputation of being one of the top airlines for arrival and departure times, make Mango the great airline it is today!
Fly Safair
Many people see Fly Safair as the new kid on the runway because they only started taking flight in late 2014. Although don’t let Fly Safaris’ “baby face” fool you, they are one of the most affordable and innovative airlines soaring South African skies today. What Fly Safari supposably lacks in tradition, it makes up in management as the group who conceptualized this airline has been in the industry for over 50 years.
SA Airlink
SA Airlink is one of those airlines that can almost take you exactly where you need to be. With over 37 possible destinations, which includes 9 African countries. SA Airlink is a “safe horse to be on” when considering which airline has the privilege of being a part of your travel story.
Whether you want to fly from South Africa to Dubai, or Cape Town to Durban, South Africa has some of the best airlines that can accommodate your journey.
