FlySafair flying?

Unread post by Joker11 »

Hi everybody!

I was dropping off a colleague at Cape Town International. We decided to get some drink and sat at Spur. I spotted a 737-400 in Safair colours at the domestic gates and it taxiied past us as we were enjoying our drinks.

Is Safair going to fly regular service now or have they started? Their website says NO. I am a little confused now..
In the battle between aeroplanes and the ground. The ground has yet to lose.

Aviation would be great, if it wouldn't be for passengers.

It is currently being used by Mango. Their callsign today was Tulca and I flew on this plane to Bloem on Sunday on a Mango booking. It looked liked SAFAIR pilots and hosties with one hosty in Mango uniform.
