South African Express flights
South African Express (SAX) operates passenger and cargo flights to and from the smaller towns in South Africa (routes where it is not viable to fly narrow-bodied jets), and is based at Johannesburg's OR Tambo International Airport. The airline has a strategic alliance with South African Airways (e.g. shares the same flight booking system and you can earn Voyager miles on South African Express flights), but is operationally independent.
Flight reviews
-
I recently flew on an SA Express flight and while boarding in Port Elizabeth, the passenger who sat next to me in the last row – let's call him "Mr Grumpy" – started to shout at one of your flight attendants, Kimber Jonke. He insisted on stowing his baggage under his seat, but she stood her ground and said that this was not permitted as he was seated right next to an emergency exit. Well done to Kimber for keeping her cool and remaining professional! Sincerely, Lee Palmer (in June 2013 SA Express in-flight magazine)
SA Express Fleet
All of SA Express's planes were built by a company called Bombardier Aerospace.

In the June 2013 SA Express magazine, they look at the Tsitsikamma Water World, Walvis Bay (SA Express flies from Johannesburg and from Cape Town to Walvis Bay) and the SA Express Graduates Programme. Thrifty Car Rental offers a Hyundai H1 from R950*/day and Thornybush a 3 night package from R9152 per person. On the 18th July the One&Only in Cape Town (which was recently voted in the top 5 African hotels in terms of service) is hosting a tqalk by a shark expert.
