1time increases flight schedule

Johannesburg – In the midst of intense low-cost carrier competition, 1time airline today announced that it will be increasing flights on certain sectors and adding additional routes to its current flight schedule.

From Thursday, 02 November, 1time will be adding two additional flights between East London and Cape Town.   The additional flights on Mondays and Thursdays increase the total frequency to four weekly departures between the two cities.

“This additional service makes it easy for business travellers as well as leisure passengers to connect between East London and Cape Town. Where 1time previously only flew between East London and Cape Town on Fridays and Sundays to accommodate mainly leisure passengers, the new Monday and Thursday frequencies will allow us to concentrate on the business market even more,” said Rodney James, marketing director of 1time airline.

1time’s MD82/3 157-seater aircraft will be utilised for the hour and a half-long flight.

“Due to popular demand, we will also be launching a new schedule between East London and Durban adding four flights on this route,” continued Rodney.  “We believe there is huge potential in this market and look forward to slowly building up the route.”

The new route will open up on 29 October and air ticket costs will be approximately the same as the East London to Cape Town flight.  Reservations are open.

Concluded Rodney:  “We are really pleased with 1time’s growth since we launched in January 2005.  As South Africa’s first genuine low fare airline we are offering airfares that are consistently lower than our competitions’ and our low fares have dramatically stimulated the domestic air travel market with many first time flyers.”
