Flying is the quickest way to get to the Mother City. It was never the cheapest option but in recent years this has very much changed, with the introduction of the low cost airlines that have popped up in South Africa. Kulula was the first such airline to offer this kind of service which began all the way back in 2001. Currently Kulula flights to and from Cape Town include the cities of Johannesburg (both Lanseria and O.R Tambo), Durban and Port Elizabeth.
Kulula Cape Town Airport Fleet
The type of aircraft that Kulula uses in their fleet is the Boeing 737 400 and the Boeing 737 800. They carry 162 and 186 passengers respectively.
