Regional low-cost carrier, FlySafair, has recently installed cabin artwork in selected aircraft to celebrate South Africa’s melting pot of cultures.
Six local artists each created the unique designs, celebrating their favourite parts of the country.
This is the second time the airline is running this artist campaign, which started in 2022 as a way to support local artists and help people find enjoyment in flying again after the stress of the pandemic.
“We are thrilled to be bringing back this campaign. Art is a powerful thing, it has the potential to communicate a message or feeling regardless of the language you speak or the culture you come from,” said Kirby Gordon, COO at FlySafair.
“When we first launched this project, flying was extremely stressful for many of our customers due to the forced proximity it required. Thankfully, that is now behind us, but what better way to share our love of flying and South Africa than through art.”
The designs have been converted into aircraft approved materials and are being placed on the selected aircraft's interior.
“As a collective, they are a fantastic reflection of just how wide a range of special and unique experiences the country has to offer, bringing more life and fun to the FlySafair flying experience,” the airline said in a press release.
“We cannot wait to show off this next round of designs. This project is an important reminder of all we have to celebrate in this country and is a great way to help us share our love of flying with all our customers,” concluded Gordon.
