When we launched the kulula.com brand back in 2001 we wanted to make air travel more accessible to leisure travellers and it is a fantastic accomplishment to receive an award slanted more towards the business travel market, as it shows that kulula.com can play equally strong within both markets,” says Shaun Pozyn, Head of Marketing, Customer Experience and Loyalty at kulula.com and British Airways (operated by Comair).

 

“On another note, we are equally proud to have received the award for Best African Regional Short-Haul Airline for British Airways (operated by Comair) as we continually strive to widen our African footprint by flying our customers to more destinations in Africa, whilst offering our signature British Airways hospitality onboard,” he adds.
