Fastjet, the low-cost pan-African airline, has been making travel dreams come true for over 2 million of its passengers across the African skies since launching in November 2012.
 
As an initiative to boost even more South Africans flying, fastjet has announced that any passengers purchasing tickets on Tuesday, 31 May 2016 will be entered into the first ever fastjet Big 10 lottery to win 10 free return flights on any fastjet route on the airline’s African network. Scooping the lottery for the 10 return flights will give the winning passenger the power to go on a dream holiday or a once-in-a-lifetime shopping trip with friends and family that they have always dreamed of.
 
Or for South African entrepreneurs travelling into Africa the flights could be used to give their business the boost it needs by saving on travel costs for the next 10 times they need to travel.
 
“Very simply, fastjet’s goal is to make it possible for more South Africans to fly into African countries, whether it be for business, visits to their friends and family, or enjoying leisure travel,” said Richard Bodin, chief operating officer at fastjet.
 
Qualifying routes include all flights from Johannesburg to Dar es Salaam, Harare and Victoria Falls, as well as flights between Dar es Salaam, Mbeya, Mwanza, Kilimanjaro, Zanzibar, Nairobi, Entebbe, Lusaka, Harare, and between Kilimanjaro and Entebbe.
 
Flights purchased on Tuesday, 31 May 2016 for all domestic and international routes will qualify passengers for entries into the Big 10 lottery.  Winners will be announced on in June 2016, and the 10 free flights must be used before 11 December 2016.
 
Recognised as Africa’s Leading Low-Cost Airline, fastjet now connects 11 African destinations for business people, tourists and families who have welcomed its low fares and the convenience of air travel.
 
“Air travel is the key to the continued stimulation and growth of the country’s economy by making it easier for families, business people, and tourists to travel,” said Bodin. “We are launching these discounted flights so that even more South Africans can experience the convenience of air travel, whether they are traveling for business or leisure.”
