[edit] History
1Time commenced ticket sales in January 2004, and started flying on February 25, 2004, with three daily return flights between Johannesburg and Cape Town International Airports. It was founded by four entrepreneurs, Gavin Harrison, Glenn Orsmond, Rodney James and Sven Petersen. Glenn Orsmond is the Chief Executive Officer.
[edit] Structure
The founders owned an aviation holding company, Afrisource Holdings, through which they owned Aeronexus, an aviation company that offered various aircraft services (and currently performs maintenance for 1Time). After 9/11, with the resultant depression in the aviation business making planes available cheaply, they saw the opportunity to start a low-cost airline.
The name of the company, "one time!", is a South African expression meaning "for real!".
