Flights to Cape Town from OR Tambo are split pretty equally between two carriers, FlySafair and Kulula. Both of them provide direct flights between the two which is a significant way of helping to achieve sustainable travel by reducing fuel consumption. The highest fuel burn rate is during take-off and landing cycles so eliminating intervening stops makes a substantial impact. Kulula is also a budget airline which doesn’t serve meals in plastic containers during the flight, further reducing its overall carbon footprint. Both airlines attempt to operate full flights only, avoiding unnecessary extra flights without full passenger manifests.

It’s no secret that plastic is one of the biggest threats to our environment. Therefore, you should look for any and every way to avoid using it. Plastic water bottles are a particular scourge so take your own reusable water bottle instead of accepting any of the small complimentary bottles of water you’re offered. The flight to Cape Town only takes a little over two hours so if you’re taking a flight at meal-times on FlySafair, rather have something to eat before you leave to save on at least one set of plastic containers and cutlery. Another eco-friendly thing you can do is check the type of aircraft on the various flights – they’re displayed alongside the other flight details and use Google if you need to identify the latest models as these have more fuel efficient engine technology than the older ones.
