Cape Town - Which South African airline can offer long-suffering consumers the best flight specials?
Mango Airlines emerged the winner in the 2014 SouthAfrica.TO Travel Awards, and was voted as offering the best special deals among South African airlines.
The company won the title of "Best Flight Specials" in the 2014 SouthAfrica.TO Travel Awards.
South Africans taking part in the survey upon which the awards are based, gave the airline the biggest approval rating in this category, with especially strong support for the airline shown among those younger than 30.
“Mango has always endeavoured to offer the most competitive fares in the market and, as part of our commitment to this, we regularly offer sale or special offer fares. It is fantastic to be recognised by South Africans as the airline that performs well against the task that we have set ourselves,” said Mango Airlines spokesperson Hein Kaiser.
In the survey that was carried out, there were 883 South Africans who chose to answer the question "Who has the best flight specials?" Of those who responded, 47% selected Mango Airlines as having the best flight specials.
Mango Airlines are well known for their weekly Mango Happy Day Sales. This deal is run pretty much every week, and has become a brand of itself in the consciousness of South Africans interested in booking flight tickets.
"Our readers have spoken and we'd like to congratulate Mango Airlines on being voted in as having the best flight specials in South Africa. The single most important thing to most people purchasing airline tickets is to pay low flight prices, and from that perspective this is the most important of the awards.
"A huge thank you to all our readers, both of our newsletters and those on our social media platforms, who took part in the SouthAfrica.TO Travel Awards for allowing us to hear their collective voice." said Rob Baker, co-owner of SouthAfrica.TO
SouthAfrica.TO analysts said that part of the reason for Mango Airlines doing so well is because in some cases it is the only airline flying to a city.
For example, one participant left the comment that "Mango has the best specials and it has a route to my home town Bloemfontein". Mango are the only budget carrier flying to the Free State, and this paid dividends with 78% of participants in the Free State voting for Mango Airlines as having the best flight specials.
There are more Mango flight routes to Cape Town than other budget carriers, and we can see this coming through in the statistics, with a higher than average 51% in the Western Cape voting Mango flight specials as being best.
Mango Airlines has a particularly strong support base among the youth - 63% of those younger than 30 thought Mango Airlines have the best flight specials, compared to only 47% across all age groups.
