Mango Airlines, SA Express and South African Airways to unite as one
Mango Airlines, SA Express and South African Airways will unite as one airline. The decision was made by the state as each airline flies very similar routes, causing heavy saturation in the South African aviation market. Public Enterprises Minister Pravin Gordhan stated that all three airlines are essentially offering the same service to their customers and the state needs to be more strategic about where they position each airline, otherwise they run the risk of running them into bankruptcy. Gordhan seems confident that if the airlines come together as one, the state will be able to better distribute aircraft and routes to he singular airline, making sure all equipment and services are being run accordingly and in the right place and right time.
While it's yet to be announced what name the three airlines will run under, it's likely that South African Airways will keep its name with Mango and SA Express abandoning theirs, as Mango isn't as much of a recognisable brand as South African Airways is.

Mango Airlines in the top 30 cheapest airlines in the world
According to a study realised by business tech, Mango Airlines has made it into the top 30 cheapest airlines in the world. For domestic flights, South African carriers lead the pack, with FlySafair, who along with Mango, featured among the top 30 airlines at a cost of $0.13/km. The data was collated by Rome2rio, a travel planning website, who published the 2018 edition of its Global Flight Price Ranking which highlights the cheapest airlines in the world for cost per kilometre. Australia’s Tiger Air is seen as the cheapest airline at a cost of $0.06/km, “likely due to the large distances covered by the budget airline”. From an international perspective, when Rome2rio measured the top 200 airlines by average price ($) per kilometre on international flight searches, it found Asian and Indian carriers dominated the top of the list, with Air Asia X taking top spot, followed by Air India Express and Indonesia AirAsia. Of course, this information should be taken with a pinch of salt, as the price of airlines depends of a lot of other external factors.

Mango Airlines inspires St Ansgar's school children
Working with the students of St Ansgar's is the new social initiative of the low-cost airline, Mango. St Ansgar's school received some gifts from Mango Airlines: items necessary to ease the workload of teachers and staff. This hand-over follows an initiative last year where a number of learners from the school were treated to a morning at Lanseria Airport.Nic Vlok, acting CEO at Mango Airlines explains, “The moment the school children’s faces lit up as they stepped on-board a trademark orange Mango aircraft, Boeing 737-800, it became apparent that this was far more than a CSI initiative.
"It was an opportunity to give these children wings! And by that I mean, options for their future. For most, the fascinated and happy faces indicated it was their first time on an airplane so it was our opportunity to introduce the possibility of a career in the airline industry. The Mango and St Ansgar’s partnership will continue with more opportunities for the school to learn more about a career in the airline. In fact, we hope that for some learners it is just the beginning of a love affair with flying." Good Job, Mango airlines!
