FlySafair identifies as a Low-Cost Carrier. What this means is that keeping our costs as low as possible is an essential part of our business model, and it affords us the ability to offer a very attractive price for air travel to the market.
Cost control is something that all businesses have to focus on and given the aforementioned nature of our business, we truly appreciate that. What we also appreciate though is that cutting costs is not always about opting for the cheapest solution, but rather the best value solution. That's exactly what we aim to do with our affordable fares; friendly and hassle-free service; and world-best on-time performance record. So why not get on board with an airline that understands your business.
16% Cheaper
It's a bold claim but we're confident to make it. Domestic airfares operate like a commodities market, so we are acutely aware of how we are priced relative to the market and employ advanced analytical tools to guide us.
Looking at the year from Jan 2017 - July 2017, FlySafair has offered consistently lower fares than the rest of the market. On average our fares have been 16% cheaper than those of the other Low-Cost Carriers and 36% cheaper than the market average. We were 9% cheaper than our closest competitor.
Most On-Time Airline in the World
Being delayed on a flight is always annoying, but somehow the frustration is exaggerated when travelling for business. Late flights can also cause havoc with a day of carefully scheduled meetings, which is why we focus so hard on keeping our service on-time.
FlySafair is proud to report that we are the most on-time airline, not just in South Africa, but in the world. This was recently confirmed by OAG, an international airline data monitoring agency.
Two Penalty-Free Flight Changes
Speaking to our business travellers we've learnt that almost a third of you tend to change your return flights due to a change in schedule. Changes usually incur some costs including a change penalty and a difference in flight fare. That's why we designed a fare with two penalty-free changes especially for our business travellers.
No Credit Card at Check-in
Our sophisticated fraud prevention systems mean that we don't need to go the old-fashioned way of asking travellers to present the credit card used for booking at check-in. This way you can be assured of no issues for your travellers at the airport.
