FlySafair began operations in October 2014, but the company behind the airline, Safair, has been in operation for over 50 years.Safair is one of Africas foremost specialist aviation companies offering a wide range of specialist airlift services. In one part of the business we operate an incredible type of aircraft called the Lockheed Hercules C130 pictured here. These amazing aircraft allow us to carry large and bulky cargo and land in obscure places from short dirt runways in deep Africa to ice in Antarctica.The other side of our business has been a leasing and cargo business. Here we largely operate Boeing aircraft on contracts for other airlines. If youve been a semi-regular flier in South Africa since the 1980s theres actually a very high chance that youve been on a Safair .
