Low cost in Sud Africa

[i-daxi]

1Time Airlines

1Time is a low-cost airline based in the Isando Industrial Park in Kempton Park, Ekurhuleni, Gauteng, South Africa. It operates scheduled domestic services. Its main base is OR Tambo International Airport, Johannesburg, with hubs at Durban International Airport, East London Airport and Cape Town International Airport.

The name of the company, "one time!", is a South African expression meaning "for real!".

The founders owned an aviation holding company, Afrisource Holdings, through which they owned Aeronexus, an aviation company that offered various aircraft services (and currently performs maintenance for 1Time).

1Time commenced ticket sales in January 2004, and started flying on February 25, 2004, with three daily return flights between Johannesburg and Cape Town International Airports.

The Avstar Group has acquired a 15% shareholding in 1Time Holdings and under the deal the airline will lease two additional 157-seat McDonnell Douglas MD-83 aircraft from the Group. 1Time carried over a million passengers in 2006 on services to eight destinations.

The airline is owned by Afrisource Holdings (50%), MKJH Trust (30%) and Mogwele Investments (20%) and has 420 employees (at March 2007).

1Time Holdings made an IPO on the Johannesburg Securities Exchange (JSE) on 14 August 2007


1time was born out of a unique opportunity to launch South Africa's first genuine low-fare airline. At that time, it appeared on the surface as if there were already an airline operating in this market but, in order to qualify as an authentic and sustainable low-fare airline, a company should be set up from scratch as a low-fare model.

1time offers consumers a guarantee that its advertised airfares will be offered on every seat, every flight, and every day - irrespective of when the reservation is made.

Fleet:

1time is extremely proud of its fleet of aircraft. They currently operate a single type of aircraft to ensure their pilots, cabin attendants and maintenance crews are specialist on their family of aircraft. They operate six MD80 and four DC9 jet aircraft and they fly up to eight hours a day. The first of six MD80 series 157-seater jet aircraft arrived in mid November 2004 and went into service in December 2004. The MD80 is a newer generation craft within the family of DC9 aircraft. Their high utilisation is one of the secrets to consistently offering the lowest fares.

Mango flights:

Mango airlines is a low cost airline operating in South Africa (the other 3 low cost carriers in South Africa are 1time Airline, Kulula Airline and Nationwide Airlines). It is a subsidiary of South African Airways (SAA) . Mango's first flight was on the 15th November 2006, from Johannesburg to Cape Town.

It operates domestic scheduled budget services. Its main base is OR Tambo International Airport, Johannesburg. Mango is headquartered on the grounds of OR Tambo in Kempton Park, Ekurhuleni, Gauteng.

After years of losing market-share to low-cost carriers such as Kulula, South African Airways executives decided to launch their own domestic carrier to compete in this market. Their project to launch a new low-cost airline was originally given the code name TULCA (The Ultimate Low Cost Airline).
Within hours of being online, the website was downed due to excessive traffic caused by eager would-be commuters clamouring to book seats, which at a starting price of R169, were almost half that of rival Kulula.

The airline launched in October 2006 amidst much fanfare and criticism. It started operations on 15 November 2006.
Rival airlines noted that Mango could afford to subsidise ticket prices as its parent company, SAA, is a public governmental company, and therefore taxpayer funded. This has fuelled outcries of unfair trading. A report by Finance 24 claimed that South African taxpayers are funding the airline to the tune of R3 million a week.
Mango had a poor start with negative media however Mango have reported a healthy profit already, before SAA's set target date in late August of 2008.

Mango Airlines' holding company, South African Airways (SAA), was bleeding business to the other low-cost airlines (Kulula.com & 1time airline) and therefore decided to set up its own low-cost carrier. South African Airways initially code-named Mango Airlines TULCA - an acronym for "The Ultimate Low Cost Airline ".

Mango Airline leases four B737-800 aircraft from its parent company, South African Airways (South African Airways, in turn, leases the aircraft from a leasing company, Gecas, which owns the aircraft).

The Mango fleet includes the following aircraft (as of March 2009):

4 × Boeing 737-800 (reg. ZS-SJG, ZS-SJH, ZS-SJK, ZS-SJL)

Mango flight routes:

Cape Town, Durban, Johannesburg, Bloemfontein.

Inflight services:

Mango offers a buy on board programme offering food and drinks for purchase.
Mango also offers Mango TV, a daily in flight entertainment programme with the latest content and news to keep viewers entertained throughout the flight.

OR Tambo International Airport

OR Tambo International Airport (IATA: JNB, ICAO: FAJS) (ORTIA) is a large airport in Kempton Park, Ekurhuleni, Gauteng, South Africa, near the city of Johannesburg. It serves as the primary airport for domestic and international travel to/from South Africa and is Africa's busiest airport, handling 19,440,000 (12.1% annual increase) passengers in 2007.
The airport is the hub of South Africa's largest international and domestic carrier, South African Airways (SAA), and a number of smaller local airlines.

It was formerly officially known as Johannesburg International Airport and before that as Jan Smuts International Airport (hence the airport's ICAO code, FAJS) after the South African statesman of that name. The first renaming was done in 1994 when the newly reformed South African government implemented a national policy of not naming airports after politicians. The policy was however reversed later, and the airport renamed again on 27 October 2006 after Oliver Tambo, the former President of the African National Congress.

The airport was founded in 1952 as "Jan Smuts Airport", two years after his death, near the town of Kempton Park on the East Rand. It displaced the "Palmietfontein International Airport", which had handled European flights since 1945. In the same year of its inception, it had the honourable distinction of ushering in the jet age, when the first commercial flight of a de Havilland Comet took off from London Heathrow Airport bound for Johannesburg.

A statue of Oliver Tambo at the OR Tambo International Airport.It was used as a test airport for the Concorde during the 1970s, to determine how the aircraft would perform while taking off and landing at high altitude.
During the 1980s, many countries stopped trading with South Africa because of the United Nation sanctions imposed against South Africa in the struggle against apartheid, and many airlines had to stop flying to the airport. These sanctions resulted in South African Airways being refused rights to fly over most African countries, and in addition to this the risk of flying over some African countries was emphasised by the shooting down of two passenger aircraft over Rhodesia, forcing them to fly around the "bulge" of Africa. This required specially-modified aircraft like the Boeing 747-SP. Following the ending of apartheid, the airport's name, and that of other international airports in South Africa, were changed to politically neutral names and these restrictions were discontinued.

The airport overtook Cairo International Airport in 1996 as the busiest airport in Africa and is the second-busiest airport in the Africa-Middle East region after Dubai International Airport. There are expected to be over 21 million passengers per year by 2010.
The airport is one of the 100 busiest in the world.

On 26 November 2006, the airport became the first in Africa to host the Airbus A380.
The aircraft landed in Johannesburg on its way to Sydney via the South Pole on a test flight.

OR Tambo International Airport is regarded as a "hot and high" airport. Situated almost 1700 metres (5,500 feet) above mean sea level, the air is thin. This has implications for the performance of aircraft at altitude. For example, a flight from Johannesburg to Washington, D.C., currently operated with an Airbus A340-600, must stop in Dakar International Airport for refuelling, since the aircraft is not able to make the run on one fuel fill. This is because of decreased performance on take-off from the airport, where an aircraft cannot take off fully laden with fuel, cargo, and passengers, and must use a longer stretch of runway to reach take-off velocity. By contrast, the return leg of the flight from Washington to Johannesburg is a non-stop 15-hour flight, with better performance of the aircraft at Washington Dulles International Airport in Washington where the airport is 95 meters (313 feet) above sea level. The Washington-Johannesburg flight is one of longest commercial non-stop flights in the world. As SAA sees a market in West Africa, some flights to/from the United States now go via Dakar, Senegal, even in the US-to-South Africa direction.

There are two parallel runways, which run north-south, and a disused cross runway. The western runway, 03L/21R, is over 4400 m (14,000 ft) in length, making it one of the world's longest international airport runways. This is due to the aforementioned rarefied atmosphere problem - fully laden aircraft require a far greater length of runway to achieve take-off velocity at this altitude than they would normally (see Hot and high). It is equipped at both ends with Instrument Landing Systems (ILS), Approach Lighting Systems (ALS) with sequenced flashers, and touchdown zone (TDZ) lighting. Runway 03R/21L is 3,400m (11,155 ft)long and it is also equipped at both ends with Instrument Landing Systems (ILS), Approach Lighting Systems (ALS) with sequenced flashers, and touchdown zone (TDZ) lighting. The Airport used to have a third runway but this was closed due to the danger it posed. It is now a taxiway.

During busy periods, outbound flights use the western runway for take-off, while inbound flights use the eastern runway for landing. Wind factors may cause numerous variations, but on most days flights will take off to the north and land from the south.

OR Tambo International Airport also serves as grounds for the South African Airways Museum, a room filled with South African Airways memorabilia and which started as an idea by two fans of the airline until they could set it up in one of Jan Smuts International's buildings in 1987.

Airports Company South Africa (ACSA) reports that major new development is taking place at the airport, in preparation for the 2010 FIFA World Cup. The development includes the expansion of the international terminal, with the new international pier which will be able to house the new Airbus A380 while also increasing capacity at the same time. A new Central Terminal building, designed by Osmond Lange Architects and Planners, is under construction. An additional multi-storey parkade is being built at a cost of R470 million opposite the Central Terminal Building, plus Terminal A is also being upgraded and the associated roadways realigned to accommodate more International Departures space.

The Central Terminal Building (cost: R2 billion) will boost capacity at the landside of the terminal in 3 levels, also allowing direct access from international and domestic terminals. Additional luggage carousels will be added to accommodate the Airbus A380. Arrivals will be accommodated on level 1, with departures expanded on level 3, level 2 will accommodate further retail and commercial activities. The Gautrain Rapid Rail Link station will be housed above the terminal.

The new International Pier development (cost: R535 million) will increase international arrivals and departures capacity in a double storey structure with nine additional airside contact stands, four of which are Airbus A380 compatible. Air bridges are already in place and the existing duty-free mall will be extended into this area. Additional lounges and passenger holding areas will be constructed on the upper level.

The new international pier and the upgraded central terminal are both expected to be ready by 2009. A second terminal between the two runways has also been mooted, which is proposed for completion by 2012. It will contain its own domestic and international check-in facilities, contact stands, shops and lounges and is projected to cost R8 billion to complete. Growth at the airport is expected to reach 24 million passengers per annum by 2015.

The airport is likely to see the arrival of the new Airbus A380 in its first years of service, as Airbus has already listed the airport as one of the few destinations worldwide capable of handling the aircraft, and also because many international airlines operate long-haul routes to Johannesburg. For example, there are five daily flights from London, British Airways making use of Boeing 747-400s, South African Airways using the A340, and Virgin Atlantic using a mix of the two aircraft types.

In November 2009 Air France announced the scheduled flights of their Airbus A380 into Johannesburg's O.R. Tambo International Airport.
First flights should commence in February 2010.
It is also speculated that Lufthansa and Emirates may operate the A380 to Johannesburg during the 2010 World Cup.

[i-daxi]

There are six terminals at the airport, but these can be broken down into three major areas: the international terminals; the domestic terminals; and the transit terminals. The transit terminal housed disused parts of the old domestic terminals. It has been mostly demolished in order to build a new Central Terminal, which will provide an indoor link between domestic and international terminals, as well as a central passenger check-in area and more gates. It is currently under construction for the 2010 FIFA World Cup. Terminals A1 and A2 handle international passengers while the other two terminals handle domestic passengers. Due to the airport's design, departure and arrivals terminals are considered separate terminals. The Central Terminal that is under construction will be named Terminal A3 and it will be used for both international and domestic passengers.

Renaming
In late 2005, a name change was proposed for the airport to "O.R. Tambo International", after former ANC President and anti-apartheid activist Oliver Tambo, an apparent change to the precedent of neutrally-named airports. The name change was formally announced in the Government Gazette of South Africa on 30 June 2006, allowing a 30-day window for the public to register objections. The name change was implemented on 27 October 2006 with the unveiling of new signs at the airport.

Critics noted the considerable expense involved in renaming the airport, and the decision to use a politician as the name would be obscure, confusing and in some instances, offensive. Corne Mulder of the Freedom Front Plus has stamped the renaming "nothing less than political opportunism and attempts by the ANC government to dodge the true socio-economic issues of the country".

O.R. Tambo is also a regional municipality in the Eastern Cape, seated in Mthatha. It has an International Airport which is known as the K. D. Matanzima Airport or (Mthatha Airport), named after Kaiser Matanzima.

Ciao e grazie per la testimonianza.

La Kulula non opera più i 727, quindi la foto appartiene ormai al passato.

Aggiungi altre info, tipo nuove rotte, novità, notizie che non ho riportato, foto, news su altre compagnie analoghe.
Penso saranno gradite.


Comair (British Airways partner) operava i 727 assieme ai 737 200, ma non sò se ancora li utilizza.

Siccome i tifosi sono costretti a viaggi itineranti all'interno del (grande) paese credo che i voli interni low-cost servano come il pane.

Credo anch'io anche se non sò se tutte le città dei mondiali sono collegate direttamente, in ogni caso mi sembra di capire che anche la sussidiaria regionale della South African ha una rete molto capillare, ma non ho idea delle tariffe.

Comair Limited ovvero la British Airways del Sud Africa:

Comair is an airline based in South Africa.
It operates scheduled services on domestic trunk routes as a British Airways franchisee and an affiliate member of the Oneworld airline alliance. Its main base is OR Tambo International Airport, Johannesburg, with hubs at Cape Town International Airport and Durban International Airport. Its headquarters are near OR Tambo in the Bonaero Park area of Kempton Park, Ekurhuleni, Gauteng.

The airline was established and started operations on 14 July 1946 as Commercial Air Services. It was founded by Second World War South African Air Force colleagues AC Joubert, JMS Martin, L Zimmerman and JD Human. Scheduled services between Rand Airport, Johannesburg and Durban began in 1948, using a Cessna Model 195.

The airline grew over the next decades, to the point where it was able to start service on major domestic routes in 1992, using Boeing 737-200 aircraft. In addition to domestic flights to destinations such as Cape Town and Durban, it also offered a few international flights in Southern Africa, e.g. to Gaborone and Harare.

A franchise agreement with British Airways was signed in 1996 and in early 2000 British Airways acquired a minority holding. It was listed on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange in July 1998. The airline is owned by the management (25%), institutions and public (52%), British Airways (18%) and employees (5%) and has 1,447 employees (at March 2007).
In 2001, kulula.com was set up. It is a wholly owned subsidiary of Comair and was set up as a low-cost airline.

Guardando sul noto sito Airliners.net ho trovato le immagini di un'altra compagnia Sud Africana, la Comair Cityjet, qualcuno ne sà di più, é ancora attiva?

La base é o era sullo scalo di Johannesburg Or Tambo, mentre le detinazioni certe erano: Cape Town, Skukuza, Hoedspruit, Manzini.

Credo fosse attiva solo prima della cooperazione con British Airways.

Gli aerei nelle foto precedenti appartenevano alla stessa Comair prima che siglasse accordi con la British Airways: un' altra compagnia chiamata Comair Cityjet, secondo ciò che ho trovato, non è mai esistita...

Grazie, solo perché parli di Lanseria, non mi sembra sia la base tecnica e operativa delle compagnie in questione, al massimo vi ha sede la società che si occupa della manutenzione e soprattutto della riconversione e della verniciatura.

Lanseria è famoso per questo in Sud Africa.

Solo la Kulula, tra queste vi opera, ma solo voli per Durban e Cape Town.

Sì, infatti parlando di Lanseria ho citito solo la Kulula. Su Wikipedia a proposito di quell' aeroporto dice che ha il maggiore numero di movimenti aerei di tutta l' Africa!
