A new budget airline is set to start operating from Johannesburg and Cape Town in the second half of the year.
The airline, Skywise, is seeking to cut the costs of flying domestically by as much as 20%.
The airline's financial director, Glenn Orsmond - the former founding director of the airline, 1time - says they were granted an air service license on Monday, and will now start the process of getting an air operator certificate from the Civil Aviation Authority.
Skywise plans to lease two Boeing 737-300's for its initial three daily flights between Johannesburg and Cape Town.
Plans are also afoot to add two more aircraft later to service Durban, and the Port Elizabeth-East London routes.
