Among the 80 major awards presented during the event, FlySafair&#8217;s recognition as the Best Low-Cost Airline stood out due to its foundation in real passenger feedback and experiences.<\/p>\n<p>Gordon highlighted the significance of this award, acknowledging the airline&#8217;s ability to maintain high standards of customer service, even during challenging times.<\/p>\n<p>One of the key factors contributing to FlySafair&#8217;s ongoing success was its exceptional On-Time Performance (OTP) rating. In 2023, the airline achieved an average score of 93.7%.<\/p>\n<p>Last year, it ranked among the top 20 most punctual airlines worldwide. <a name=\"inarticle-middle\"><\/a>This achievement became even more remarkable, considering that FlySafair had increased its flight operations by 47% since 2019.<\/p>\n<p>Gordon emphasized that tracking and reporting OTP has always been a priority for the airline, as it is considered their main differentiating factor. The ability to maintain this performance while scaling their capacity has been a crucial focus for FlySafair.<\/p>\n<p><a name=\"teadsTarget\"><\/a>Additionally, FlySafair has made further improvements to enhance the passenger experience.<\/p>\n<p>They have expanded their WhatsApp services, becoming the first airline in Africa to offer mobile payments. Furthermore, they have introduced a new regional route connecting Johannesburg and Zanzibar, with plans for several other routes later this year.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/lesotho\">Lesotho<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Lesotho.
