About: “Following a consultancy assignment by easyJet founder Sir Stelios Haji-Ioannou’s easyGroup focused on determining the feasibility of launching a European-style low-cost carrier in Africa, we are now preparing for the launch of fastjet, Africa’s first low-cost carrier, flying a modern fleet of jet aircraft based on the Fly540 platform of licences and routes. First flights under the fastjet brand are expected to take place late November, bringing an entirely new flying experience to the African market.”

It also is known in African mythology for having the ‘kindest and most generous heart’ — The bird is also commonly kept as a family pet and are deeply loved by African people. All perfect connections for Africa’s newest and smarter way to travel.”
