After the demise of Mango and Kulula, and the steady decline of South African Airways, it was about time for a new airline for South Africa. And that airline is Lift.

Its IATA code is GE, which was used by former Transasia airways… wondering if existing IATA code were fully occupied, how will IATA code new airlines…
Thanks for reviewing South Africa's latest airline. 'Lift' sounds a good name. In Australia, we call an 'elevator' a 'LIFT'. The A320 is extremely reliable and I prefer it to the 737 its prime competition. Thanks again.
Lift airlines more like Elevator airlines 😂
I'd love a career with Simply Aviation. How would i go about enquiring for a position within your channel??
34 year old Airbus a320
I like to see airliners reach old-age and am still traumatised by the sight of A380s going off to the kanacker's yard.
May I suggest that the 'tech' used in the booking and check-in process is something that deserves a comment as a matter of routine. Some's good and some's ain't.
Air India BLR -SFO please
Why does listening to the new intro feel so nostalgic to me

South African aviation seems very volatile at the moment. Colombia’s market is very similar from an outsider’s POV, except for Colombia’s COVID recovery being a lot faster and stronger. Inside of a little over a month we lost both an established, strong, and iconic player in the market in Viva and a startup, Ultra Air, which commenced operations during the pandemic like Lift and was seeing considerable success prior to its downfall. Hope the pitfalls of those airlines’ last few months don’t reach Lift, seems like a nice little airline
I've been waiting for this video forever and you've finally released it ! Thanks so much for your effort and dedication 👌🏻
When will us Bangla flight video 📷 will be published?
Bc I'm Bangladeshi and I would love to see you make a trip report on their ATR 72

Great flight, what a legendary A320 Aircraft is this. I think this aircraft considered as grandpa of all A320 in the world.
Yay! South Africa represent!🇿🇦😁❤
Wow….a client of mine’s husband is a founding member of LIFT….used to be a SAA pilot 👏🏼
Yay you did South Africa ❤🇿🇦
The relaxed atmosphere and “ uniform” reminds me of Kulula.
Excellent trip report Felix, seems like a solid short haul flight!
finally my home country…love you South africa from canada
That A320 is only 3 year younger than me…. LOL!
Ahhh Cape Town ..my home city.
Can you do a report on Bonza in Australia 😊
I am going to India on June 7, 2023 for 1 or 2 months. I am taking Qatar Airways from Dulles Airport to Doha (stopover) then from Doha I am going to Bengaluru
Taking off from my favorite airport on the world , and I have sojourned 97 countries
I did this exact flight in January and was amazed at the free full service bar on such a cheap flight! Great airline.
Given the age of the aircraft, lets hope SAAT is not the technical and repair provider for Lift
What’s your height?
Fly with fiji airways in bissness class
My dad went on this exact same aircraft in 1995 😀
I don’t always watch trip reports, but when I do, it’s a #reportbyfelix. Great work as always!
Great video as always. Just wish we could have gotten a peak at the lavatory.
Next the longest 737 max flight in the world . KUL-MEL by Batik Air Malaysia . This airlines will also open route KUL-PER-AKL with their 737 max
Please make an another video on Air India after tata company takeover
What is the purpose of the trip?
Why it is the same video airplane as 737
I uploaded a video of beautiful scenic views of an aircraft landing at Cox's Bazar Airport… please have a look
