LIFT WINS BIG

LIFT Airline has walked away with their first-ever Skytrax award, winning ‘Best Low-Cost Airline in Africa’ for 2024 at the Skytrax World Airline Awards on 24 June.

The World Airline Awards, which occurs annually, are determined through a customer satisfaction survey conducted by Skytrax. At this year’s awards, LIFT was chosen as the recipient of the Best Low-Cost Airline in Africa award, beating out previous winner, FlySafair.

Jonathan Ayache, LIFT CEO said that they were thrilled to receive their first-ever Skytrax Award.

“Winning the Best Low Cost Airline in Africa is a huge feat for our domestic airline that has been around for just shy of four years. This is a testament to the amazing service our team provides, but also serves as recognition of the broader business model. We are clearly making a mark by providing travellers with our elevated experience and industry leading flexibility. Thank you to our amazing travellers for this vote of confidence” Ayache said.

‘BEST NEW AIRLINE BRAND’ TOO

Earlier this year, LIFT also bagged the title of ‘Best New Airline Brand’ in South Africa by Global Brands Magazine (GBM).

The global accolade recognises an airline’s commitment to excellence and innovation in the aviation industry. GBM conducts the prestigious awards annually to celebrate companies that set themselves apart with incredible service and a unique vision.

“LIFT’s achievement in securing this award is a testament to our exceptional team and the world-class service they offer within our dynamic airline industry. We’re extremely proud to win awards as a newcomer to the industry, being recognised for the elevated experience we’re providing,” LIFT CEO, Jonathan Ayache said.

“We are honoured to receive the ‘Best New Airline Brand, South Africa’ award from Global Brands Magazine. This global recognition will fuel our passion and motivate us to continue to provide an exceptional flying experience that goes beyond expectations,” Ayache added.
