FlySafair has been crowned Best Low-Cost Airline in Africa for the third consecutive year at the SKYTRAX World Airline Awards, while South African Airways secured the 72nd spot in the World’s Top 100 Airlines.

 

Paris, France (21 June 2023) – FlySafair, the renowned South African airline, has once again soared to new heights by clinching the prestigious title of Best Low-Cost Airline in Africa at this year’s SKYTRAX World Airline Awards.

This remarkable achievement marks the airline’s third consecutive win, cementing their position as a leader in the industry.

Meanwhile, South African Airways (SAA) has also earned recognition by securing the impressive 72nd spot in the World’s Top 100 Airlines, surpassing well-known carriers like American Airlines, Kenya Airways, and Hawaiian Airlines. It’s an outstanding accomplishment for SAA.

FlySafair triumphed over its competitors to claim the coveted number one position, surpassing esteemed airlines such as Fastjet, Nouvelair, fly540, and Jambojet. The accolade was accepted by Kirby Gordon, the Chief Marketing Officer at FlySafair, during the prestigious event held in Paris yesterday.

Gordon expressed immense pride in the FlySafair team and their unwavering dedication to enhancing the travel experience.

“We are thrilled that our continuous efforts to improve our services have been acknowledged at such a prestigious event,” Gordon stated.

He further emphasized that receiving this recognition at the highest level underscores the commitment and excellence exhibited by their staff on a daily basis.

The World Airline Awards originated in 1999 when Skytrax introduced its first-ever global annual airline customer satisfaction survey. These esteemed awards are determined through an extensive customer satisfaction survey conducted by Skytrax each year. Among the 80 significant awards presented at the event, the distinction of Best Low-Cost Airline holds great significance.

FlySafair and SAA’s triumphs at the World Airline Awards serve as a testament to the exceptional standards they have set in the aviation industry. These achievements not only showcase the remarkable progress and dedication of these airlines but also contribute to the overall growth and reputation of the South African aviation sector.
