State-owned low-cost airline Mango, and Comair, which operates British Airways flights and low-cost operator kulula.com, are chief amongst those that don’t want another low-cost airline operating in South Africa.
As it stands, there is a good chance that 1time Airline might be flying by Christmas. Not under that name, but it would still be better than nothing.
It appears that 1time Airline ignored a plan that could have returned the low budget airline to profitability within months. Gross mismanagement by 1time’s founders and its current owners are to blame.
Oh, sure. You should definitely invest in that. A collective of 1Time Airlines founders have applied to the Air Services Licensing Council (ASLC) for a licence to start a low-cost airline. Moneyweb has the scoop: An e-mailed statement from the Department of Transport toMoneyweb states that Rodney James, the previous CEO of 1Time Airlines Pty Ltd and […]
Blackie Komani, 1time Airline CEO, has today said that the airline has not filed for liquidation, and that it has just “suspended our services as an airline.”
South Africa’s scariest airline, 1Time, has filed for liquidation. EWN reporter Mandy Wiener tweeted the news late on Friday afternoon. CEO Blackie Komani stated that 1Time’s services would be suspended with immediate effect. At the time of the announcement, the company’s website was down, and it was confirmed that the company would not be honouring […]

Earlier this year, it was reported that 1time Airline was in serious financial trouble, and some even wondered if they’d be around next year. 1time now requires a business rescue as they are “financially distressed”, and owe millions.
The exact same 1time aircraft that was forced to make an emergency landing on August 5th this year was forced to do the same yesterday afternoon on its way to Durban from Cape Town.
“The plane that we were on was old and had sticky tape holding up the emergency exit sign,” says 1Time passenger about Sunday’s 1Time flight T6 653 that made an emergency landing shortly after take-off.
Usain breaks Olympic record. 1Time Airlines emergency landing. Another US mass shooting. Murray beats Federer. Clint endorses Mitt. More anti-fracking group.
1Time Airlines‘ flight T6 648 left Cape Town last week Wednesday (6 June) at 17h45 en route to Durban’s King Shaka airport. Like many flights you hear about (usually unconfirmed second-hand stories, never addressed by the airline), there was an ‘issue’ on board which no-one ever talks about again and the airline certainly doesn’t clarify. […]
A mother caused chaos yesterday when she called the 1Time call centre to tell them there was a bomb on one of their aircrafts. The valiant woman didn’t want her daughter to board a flight from Jozi to George, but alas, it was too late, and the aircraft was already in the air by the time the threat was received.
750 African Grey parrots perished on a 1Time airlines flight from Johannesburg’s OR Tambo airport to Durban’s King Shaka Airport on Christmas Eve.

If you’re trying to sell air tickets, it’s a very, very bad idea to have the words “death” and “holiday” in the same advertisement. 1Time Airlines, who have apparently taken up the mantle from Nationwide as South Africa’s scariest airline, have done just that with this delightful email campaign. Your Monday morning dose of badvertising, after the jump.
