A new airline is reportedly seeking a certificate and air service licence issued by the Air Service Licensing Council in SA in order to gain admittance into the local South African airspace. This should be good news for consumers.
The Business Day carries the following excerpt:
"A NEW airline flying between Cape Town, Durban and Johannesburg may grace SA’s skies this year, adding to competition in a sector traded by at least three budget airlines and South African Airways. Very little is known about the backers of Durban-based Velvet Sky, and a source who did not wish to be named said yesterday that it would be premature to comment on plans.....
SA’s airline industry is in a state of structural change, with premium national airlines such as South African Airways losing market share against no-frills competitors such as JSE-listed 1time and kulula.com.
Last month, low-cost airline Mango took over all the Durban-to-Cape Town flights from its parent, South African Airways. The move has been interpreted as part of a strategy by the national carrier to exit short-haul routes where it has lost market share."

I have read about this. Hopefully it is a change for the better. flights to manila
I support this. Africa has so many tourist destinations, but there's not a lot of ways to go there.
