Mango Launches Apps

Mango has become the first South African domestic carrier to offer an App on the Apple platform. The product is available from the App Store. 

The airline plans to make the App available across most other mobile platforms during the next couple of months. In October last year, Mango launched the country’s first airline mobi-site with a booking functionality.

 Users will be able to book, pay, change flights, receive updated airline communication and participate in promotions, among others functions. An information wallet will also allow users to store generic travel detail for future ease-of-use. 

Since the launch of its mobi-site, Mango has logged in excess of 30,000 flight queries via the platform. Currently usage via Apple platforms dominates device types used, ranking at 60% of enquiry volume.
