MANGO AIRLINES


Mango in a nutshell
Mango was launched on 30 October 2006 with bookings going on sale at midnight on the same date. The online event was one of the largest E-commerce events in local online retail history with 10 000 impressions per minute registered in some instances. Mango’s first flight took place on 15 November 2006. Mango’s introduction grew the size of the South African aviation market by at least 10% making it possible for millions of ordinary South Africans, for whom air travel was previously impossible, to fly.
Mango’s business case is based on international best practice enabling it to be a true low cost carrier: Operating a uniform fleet of aircraft with high seat density, optimum asset utilization, high productivity from employees (3, 300 annual passenger movements: 1 employee). Operational efficiencies and effective channel strategies and payment methods have enhanced Mango’s leading position in the domestic aviation market. Ultimately, the key objective is to ensure sustainably affordable air travel that is accessible to all South Africans.
Mango operates four new generation Boeing 737-800 aircraft which are some of the most fuel efficient in our skies today. Mango’s aircraft is serviced and maintained according to world-class standards by SAA Technical. Each aircraft carries 186 Guests between Johannesburg and Cape Town, Durban and Cape Town, Johannesburg and Durban and Bloemfontein and Cape Town.
