    Yes Mango was grounded because of non-payments, but did you know that SAA had borrowed millions from Mango and never paid back. Did you know that an offer was put in to privatise the airline, the office of public enterprises has kept on delaying the process!

    I LOVE flying Airlink and appreciate the free in-flight food but being a vegetarian, I was surprised at the limited "chicken or beef" choice shown in the video for the light meal. Maybe one can add this option when booking though. Even if Airlink costs extra, it is well worth it!

    • @TheAviatorsSA
      @TheAviatorsSA 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      I agree with you 100%. I was too surprised vegetarian meals weren’t default. However, they can easily be order for free when selecting seats and other extras after booking on the website. Thanks for watching! ~KB~

    • @tahnekleinsmith4185
      @tahnekleinsmith4185 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      On flights I have been on they do have vegetarian meals and it's available to order as extra. I think when doing the service it's a good thing to maybe ask if they have a vegetarian option as many times they do not mention it to be able to have enough for the vegetarians onboard.

      Hi Ganief, Thanks for your comment! We agree that sometimes their prices are a bit higher than the competitor hence, we mentioned it in the video. With your Upington example, this is probably due to higher operating costs considering Airlink is the only commercial airline operating there… Thanks so much for watching and voicing your opinions!
