Taking Flight in True Proteas Style!

South African sports fans have a new reason to celebrate – the Proteas FlySafair Boeing has officially taken to the skies!

The unveiling took place on 4 November at the FlySafair hangars at OR Tambo International Airport, where the airline revealed a striking, fan-designed livery that celebrates South African pride and the nation’s cricketing passion. Every detail of the design reflects the spirit of the Proteas, turning the Boeing into a flying tribute to one of South Africa’s most beloved sports teams.

FlySafair, already well-known for its support of South African sports, is also a proud sponsor of the Springboks Rugby team. Several aircraft in the airline’s fleet feature the iconic Springboks livery, making FlySafair a unique bridge between aviation and national sporting pride. The addition of the PROTEAS-themed Boeing further strengthens this connection, showcasing South Africa’s cricketing excellence and uniting fans across the country.

The Proteas FlySafair Boeing is more than just a mode of transport – it is a symbol of national pride. It will ferry passengers across South Africa while serving as a moving tribute to the passion, skill, and determination of South African sports teams. Fans flying aboard can experience the excitement of their favourite sports teams literally taking flight, while those spotting the aircraft from the ground are reminded of the pride and joy these teams bring to the nation.

This initiative highlights the growing collaboration between sports, fans, and aviation, demonstrating how creativity and national pride can take to the skies. Whether you’re a cricket enthusiast, a rugby supporter, or a frequent traveler, these aircraft are a bold symbol of South African sporting excellence and passion.
