TopBookings travel club has partnered with YooFlyForFree airlines to introduce the new and revolutionary concept of a membership airline where no one can purchase a ticket.

The members of YooFlyForFree Airline pay a simple annual or monthly membership fee for the specific route they wish to fly and may fly as many times they wish within the membership period without having to purchase a ticket.

“This concept will revolutionize the travel and air industry in the years to come,” said Wynand Wessels, CEO of YooFlyForFree Airlines, and he goes on to say, “Planes can fly empty and still make a guaranteed profit for any destination point”.

Yoo Fly For Free Airline is a newly formed corporation with offices in Mauritius, South Africa and the United States and is a joint venture with Global Aviation.

 In combination with TopBookings and based on the innovation and insight of Wynand Wessels and Patrick Tuttle, both co-owners of the a new airline and TopBookings, “Yoo Fly For Free has been in development for over eight months and is now a reality,” said: Wessles.

Tuttle pointed out, “The main routes Yoo Fly For Free will begin to accept memberships on, will be on a limited first come basis to: Johannesburg to Cape Town and Cape Town to Johannesburg, coach seats only; Johannesburg to Durban and Durban to Johannesburg, coach seats only; Johannesburg to Lagos, Nigeria and Lagos to Johannesburg; and Nonstop from Miami to Cape Town and Cape Town to Miami.”

It is clear to note this is a airline membership programme. As such, there are only so many seats that can be offered to public to assure everyone their opportunity to travel when they need to.

This means that when all the seats are secured there would be no more availability until someone gave up a seat they previously owned the rights to.

Many airlines of all sizes are struggling with profitability even after the number of flights have been cut to increase the per flight occupancy.

“Some airlines still are running with up to 30% or higher empty seats. It seems people are hearing about us already, ” said Wessels, “as other airlines have already contacted us to consult with them or partner with them in a limited way to improve their profit bottom line.”

The concept of Yoo Fly For Free is either a great idea and will help to change aviation as we know it on an international level or at best be a local hit for the routes it is scheduled for.
