1Time Airline was a South African low-cost carrier that operated scheduled domestic and regional flights. Founded in 2004, the airline positioned itself as a budget alternative to the dominant South African Airways, offering competitive fares on popular routes. The airline operated primarily from OR Tambo International Airport in Johannesburg and served destinations across South Africa including Cape Town, Durban, Port Elizabeth, and George. It briefly expanded into regional African routes before financial difficulties curtailed operations. 1Time Airline ceased operations in November 2012 after being placed into voluntary business rescue, unable to overcome mounting financial losses exacerbated by high fuel costs and intense competition in the South African aviation market.
