Farewell to Saab 90, Welcome ATL-90

Springboks Airways, a flagship of regional aviation in South Africa, announces today the end of operations for its iconic Saab 90 fleet, marking a turning point in the history of our company.

Since our establishment in 1964, the Saab 90 has been the backbone of our operations, allowing us to develop a strong regional network across South Africa. These reliable aircraft have played a crucial role in establishing Springboks Airways as a major player in regional air transport within the country.

A New Era of Efficiency with ATL-90

We are proud to announce the arrival of ATL-90 aircraft into our fleet. These aircraft, mostly new, represent a true technological gem from Great Britain.

Significant Fuel Savings

The ATL-90s, equipped with Rolls-Royce Dart turboprop engines, offer remarkable energy efficiency. This technological advancement will allow us to achieve substantial savings on our fuel costs, a considerable advantage in the current economic context.

Unmatched Comfort for Our Passengers

One of the major benefits of the ATL-90 lies in its ability to significantly reduce cabin vibrations. Unlike the Pratt & Whitney Double Wasp engines, known for their considerable vibrations, the Dart turboprop engines provide a much quieter and more comfortable flight experience. This significant improvement in passenger comfort reinforces our position as a leader in regional air transport in South Africa.

A Renewed Commitment to National Development

Springboks Airways reaffirms its commitment to providing quality services from our main hub in Bloemfontein and secondary bases in East London, Port Elizabeth, Johannesburg, Durban, and Cape Town.

Our company remains dedicated to connecting South African communities and supporting regional economic development. The introduction of the ATL-90 fits perfectly within the country's economic growth strategy by offering more efficient and comfortable connections between economic centers.

Springboks Airways would like to thank its employees, partners, and passengers for their continued support over the years. Together, we embark on an exciting new chapter in our history, blending tradition and modernity while contributing to South Africa's prominence on the international stage.
