A new airline was recently introduced in the aviation industry run by the taxi association of South Africa called SANTACO flying from Johannesburg and Cape Town to King Williams Town.
The airline initially will focus on routes with high commuter numbers - calculated by the number of long-distance taxis that operate in these regions.
The cost of a one-way Santaco ticket from Johannesburg to Bisho will be about R800
Currently taxi commuters spend about R600 on a single road trip between the two cities. Commuters will be able to purchase airline tickets at a taxi rank, from where they will be shuttled to the airport.
This airline is a real blessing for the people who frequently travel to the Eastern Cape to funerals, rituals, weddings and other occasions. Thousands die in car accidents on the N1 and this low cost airline will assist in decreasing the death toll on our roads.
The taxi SANTACO have done well in empowering themselves and taking their service to the next level.
