Mango Airlines
Mango Airlines is an internet based subsidiary of South African Airlines, one of the major and more successful airline companies coming out of South Africa. Mango airlins is a fairly small airline company. The total fleet under the brand name of Mango Airlines is comprised of a mere four planes, and there are only a total of four destinations for Mango Airlines. South African Airlines itself is one of the more successful airline companies out there today, doing quite well considering the economic and social background of the country it was born in. Despite hardship and restrictions, South African Airlines made it and Mango Airlines is well on its way to doing the same.

Mango Airlines is an internet based airline company, which means it is famous for convenient online booking and low cost airfare. However, with only four planes and four destinations the pickings are rather slim when it comes to Mango Airlines. In the beginning, Mango Airlines was used mainly by commuters, people who worked or wanted to work in other parts of South Africa that were too far to drive everyday, realistically. It was recently launched in 2006 under South African Airways on www.flymango.co.za. On the Mango Airways website you can do everything from view flight information to book flights to get in contact with Mango Airways headquarters in Johannesburg, South Africa.

Right now, Mango Airlines is getting off to a rather bumpy start. As with all other businesses, things still need to be fine tuned and Mango Airlines is no different. It utilizes the transporation services of four Boeing 737s, but customers have complained that their flights are unpleasant and that they are not reaching their final destinations in as timely a manner as they would have hoped.

There has also been some ciriticism about how Mango Airlines is funded, since its sponsoring company South African Airlines is a government sponsored initiative. As with all other businesses, Mango Airlines does hope to expand their wings (literally and figuratively). They currently lease the four aircraft that they fly right now, and are looking to get more planes in the air in the near future.
