FlySafair is urging competitors to return to the market as quickly as possible in order to meet rising consumer demand for domestic flights.

Kirby Gordon Chief Marketing Officer at FlySafair said the airline will be operating at full capacity from November.

He said before the national lockdown, FlySafair was operating about 24% of the domestic seat capacity in South Africa, that share is presently sitting at about 76% because major competitors Kulula and British Airways remain in a dormant state awaiting relaunch after business rescue proceedings. Concerns are surfacing around the prospects of a possible second wave of coronavirus infections, and while the potential imposition of stricter regulations may be on the horizon, leading indicators show that this December season could mean a welcome boom for local tourism.
