We just love Lift airline

The South African 4x4 and Outdoor Expo was recently held at Ysterplaat Air Force Base in Cape Town. The second largest Air Force Museum of the South African Air Force is Ysterplaat. We at Aviation Central chose to fly with Lift Airlines to Cape Town because they were the Expo's official airline partner. The same aircraft, ZA-GAO, was used for the flights to and from Cape Town with the flight numbers being GE125 and GE134 respectively. A bit more about ZS-GAO: Aircraft Manufacture and Model: Airbus A320-200 (MSN 67)Operated by Global Aviation. In July 1989, the aircraft made its first test flight and is powered by two IAE V2500-A1 engines.

Our Flight Crew for the outbound bound flight was... Pilots Capt Des Warden, Chief Pilot for Global Airways FO D van Solms

Cabin Crew Senior - Dean Morag Justen Glodys

The Return Flight Crew for the outbound bound flight was... Capt Dave Oconner FO Barend Flow

Cabin Crew Nicole Shenaaz Wilri Shobana

Both flights were smooth and problem-free. We love the semi-formal clothing worn by the crew, it made us feel more at home. All procedures and checks were well executed. The flight crew was very helpful and we noticed this with fellow passengers who needed assistance. The overhead bins were overfull due to the flight being full and the crew handled this well by relocating the bigger bags to the lower luggage compartment. The Flight had 12 Premium seats and the rest was economic/standard seating. With Lift your onboard snacks are included at no additional expense as with other local carriers.

We at Aviation Central will fly with LIft Airlines again. The only disadvantage we found with Lift is the limited destinations.
