Sustainability 2

Sustainability

In October 2014, SA Express became the first airline in the country to adopt a new method of taxiing after landing that burns less fuel and cuts fuel emissions.

SA Express is currently under Business Rescue and is not operating at the moment.

South African Express may have a striking resemblance to its strategic partners South African Airways and SA Airlink, it however has been operating completely independently for the past 20 years. Their reputation since 1994 is that they're ‘the fastest growing regional Airline in Africa’.

With names like the Bombardier CRJ200 and the Dash 8-Q300 making up their fleet, SA Express is fully capable of living up to their status by offering rapid non-stop flights to South Africa’s major centres as well as regional destinations further afield.
