In an exciting move ahead of the festive season, Checkers has become the first South African grocery retailer to launch a branded airplane. The teal Airbus A320, featuring the “Sixty60” logo on its sides and “Checkers” on its belly, made its debut flight on Thursday, 24 October 2024. The maiden flight, in partnership with award-winning airline LIFT, traveled from Johannesburg to Cape Town at 10 a.m.
The aircraft, registered as ZS-GAS, will continue to operate on scheduled routes between Johannesburg, Durban, and Cape Town throughout the summer. Aviation enthusiasts can track its journey online.
Checkers has hinted at more festive surprises in the coming weeks, promising something extra special to bring families together this holiday season. Stay tuned for more updates from the skies.
