Ma hope o ka leka uila a me ka waihona kālā pūnaewele, ʻo ka ʻoluʻolu nui loa o ka makahiki pūnaewele ʻo nā mokulele haʻahaʻa haʻahaʻa.
He mākeke maikaʻi kēia ma ʻApelika Hema me kulula.com, 1Time, Nationwide a me Mango hiki ke loaʻa ma ke kaomi ʻana i ka ʻiole.
I ka hopena pule i hala, ua koho au iā 1Time no ka huakaʻi i Cape Town. ʻO ka lele kaʻu i makemake ai: kūʻai a me ka manawa. ʻO kahi bonus ka mea i ʻoi aku ka ʻoluʻolu ma mua o nā papa hoʻokele waiwai o nā mokulele lawelawe piha aʻu i lele ai. Hoʻokuʻu ʻia ka meaʻai mokulele he 60 pakeneka ʻoi aku ka liʻiliʻi - akā maikaʻi loa inā inaina ʻoe i nā mea.
Ua ʻoluʻolu wau i ka lawelawe ʻana o 1Time, ua loaʻa iaʻu nā manaʻo ʻelua e pili ana i kaʻu koho ma hope o ka hoʻolilo ʻana i kakahiaka ma ke keʻena o ka luna kulula.com ʻo Gidon Novick.
Ua ʻike au inā ua lele au me kulula.com ua hiki iaʻu ke haʻalele mai Lanseria ma mua o OR Tambo, ʻo ia ka mea e kīkēkē i hoʻokahi hola mai ka huina o ka manawa huakaʻi. A, ma ke ʻano he lālā Discovery Vitality, ua hiki iaʻu ke loaʻa ka uku hoʻemi ma waena o 15 pākēneka a me 30percent - a pono wau e lele i kahi Boeing 737-400 hou.
ʻO Novick ka luna alakaʻi nui o JSE-listed Comair, nāna e hoʻohana i ʻelua mau mokulele mokulele ma ʻApelika hema: ʻo British Airways lawelawe piha a me ka kulula.com no-frills.
Me ka loaʻa kālā he R17 miliona ma R2.2 biliona kālā i ka makahiki i hala, ʻo Comair kekahi o nā ʻoihana mokulele ʻekolu o kona nui ma ka honua.
Loaʻa iā ia kahi hoʻolālā e hoʻemi hou i kāna mau overheads. ʻO kahi ʻāpana koʻikoʻi o kēia ka hoʻololi ʻana mai nā mokulele MD82 i hoʻolimalima ʻia i nā Boeing 737-400s. ʻO ka hoʻohālikelike ʻana i ka mokulele hoʻokahi e kōkua i ka hōʻemi ʻana i ka hoʻomaʻamaʻa a me ka lawelawe lawelawe.
Wahi a Novick, hāʻawi nā mokulele hou iā Comair i nā pono hoʻokūkū. ʻOi aku ka maikaʻi o ka wahie a hāʻawi i nā pilikia ʻenehana liʻiliʻi.
Ua hoʻokomo ʻo Comair i ʻelua mau simulators mokulele 737 e hoʻokumu i kahi kula lele i loko o ka hale. Ua hoʻololi kēia i ke aʻo ʻana i 737 mau pailaka no nā mokulele ʻē aʻe i ʻoihana sideline.
Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Novick: “Ua lawe au i kaʻu keiki kāne ʻelima makahiki i loko o ka simulator lele a lele iā ia a puni ʻo Table Mountain. He ʻoiaʻiʻo, ʻaʻole maopopo ʻo ia ʻaʻole mākou i haʻalele. Ua nīnau ʻo ia i kaʻu wahine ma hope: 'Mama, pehea mākou i hiki ai i ka pā'?"
Ke hoʻokomo nei ʻo Comair i nā ʻauwaʻa o 24 mau mokulele, a ʻo 60% o nā mokulele i hāʻawi ʻia iā BA, ʻoiai e lawe ana ia i ka helu like o nā mea holo e like me kulula.com. Hāʻawi ka brand lawelawe piha i nā mokulele ʻoi aku ka liʻiliʻi i hoʻopaʻa ʻia e hōʻoia i nā kumukūʻai tiketi kiʻekiʻe.
Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Novick: “I ka wā i hoʻokuʻu ai mākou i ka kulula.com i ʻeono makahiki i hala aku nei, aia ka hopohopo e lawe aku i nā mea kaʻa mai BA. ʻAʻole i loaʻa kēlā. Ua hoʻonui nā mokulele haʻahaʻa haʻahaʻa i ka mākeke e pālua i ka nui o ia manawa.
Wahi a Novick, ʻoi aku ka wehe a me ka hoʻokūkū ʻana o ka mākeke haʻahaʻa haʻahaʻa o ʻApelika Hema ma mua o Australia, ʻelua wale nō mau mokulele haʻahaʻa: ʻo Quantas's JetStar a me Virgin Blue.
Ua alakaʻi ka hoʻokūkū ma ʻaneʻi i ka hana hou. ʻO kekahi o kaʻu kumu no ke koho ʻana iā 1Time ʻo ia kaʻu makemake i kahi kaʻa i hoʻolimalima ʻia, a ua hāʻawi ka pūnaewele ʻo 1Time i kahi kuʻikahi me Avis.
"He kuʻikahi like kā mākou me Imperial, a mākou i hoʻomaka ai i ʻelua makahiki ma mua o 1Time," wahi a Novick, e hana ana i kahi leka e hoʻomaʻamaʻa i kēia kuʻikahi ma ka pūnaewele o kulula.com.
ʻO ke kūʻai ʻana i nā hale hōkele, nā kaʻa i hoʻolimalima ʻia a me nā tiketi ea ma ke ʻano he pūʻulu hoʻokahi ma ka pūnaewele ke ulu nui nei. Ua hoʻāʻo ʻo kulula i kēia mākeke ma ke kūʻai ʻana aku i nā pūʻolo hoʻomaha Mauritian, a ke hana nei ʻo ia e hoʻopili i nā hōkele liʻiliʻi kūʻokoʻa i kāna pūnaewele.
"Ua ulu mākou mai kahi kahua mokulele i kahi puka huakaʻi," wahi a Novick.
Ua koho mua ʻia ʻo kulula.com ʻo ia ka e-tailer nui loa ma ʻApelika Hema.
Ke ʻimi nei ʻo Comair i ka ʻākau no ka ulu ʻana. Ua hoʻopaʻa ʻo ia i nā kuleana e lele i Ladana i kēia manawa, a e nalowale ana ke ʻole e holo ka lawelawe i loko o hoʻokahi makahiki.
Aia i loko o kāna pūnaewele ka hapa nui o nā kūlanakauhale ʻo ʻApelika Hema a ke manaʻo nei e hoʻonui i kona hiki i ke koena o ka ʻāina.
Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Novick: "ʻO ka paʻakikī ke hele a puni ka pale o nā ala ea. Eia ke loaʻa nei iā mākou kahi pane maikaʻi loa mai ko mākou aupuni. I ka wā ma mua, nui ka pale o SAA. I kēia manawa ke ʻike nei mākou i kahi kulekele liberal. "
