A mix of leisure travelers, domestic and international and domestic business travelers

We were the initial setup client for Takeflite in 2002 and have grown with them since.

A card system using papers pencils and erasers – scalability and accuracy for our passengers was not possible with this process. 

Everyone within our operation use Takeflite. Our ops staff wouldn’t live without it - whether it be schedule/ maintenance planning or rostering using the flight and duty system. Our front of house/ check-in staff use it for the check-in of passengers/ flight manifests/ COG. The flight crew use it for planning/ recording flight information. Our Reservations team – they love the SAAG screen where they can see all the flights/ seats available at one glance. Takeflite is the glue of our operation – it holds us all together and keeps everyone on the same page!

Our customers can now book their tickets on their smart phone/ iPad/ tablet easily with seamless integration between the website and the booking portal 24/7.

We can now operate as an airline. Pre Takeflite it was an organized shambles.

Takeflite brings the whole team together – in our industry things are always changing, so Takeflite is the place all our staff go to keep up-to-date with what’s happening!

The potential for growth is huge for our business and we are constantly seeing change with Takeflite that makes this change simple, but Takeflite also brings in new ideas on a regular basis that we can implement to make our business better.

Our business is now open 24 hours a day. Payments are made every day. It has revolutionized our business and, it is no exaggeration to say, that without it we would never have been able to sustain the growth we have experienced. We have gone from 14,000 to 100,000 passengers in 13 years.
