History
The founders owned an aviation holding company, Afrisource Holdings, through which they owned Aeronexus, an aviation company that offered various aircraft services (and currently performs maintenance for 1Time).
1Time commenced ticket sales in January 2004, and started flying on February 25, 2004, with three daily return flights between Johannesburg and Cape Town International Airports.
The Avstar Group has acquired a 15% shareholding in 1Time Holdings and under the deal the airline will lease two additional 157-seat McDonnell Douglas MD-83 aircraft from the Group. 1Time carried over a million passengers in 2006 on services to eight destinations[3].
The airline is owned by Afrisource Holdings (50%), MKJH Trust (30%) and Mogwele Investments (20%) and has 420 employees (at March 2007)[2].
1Time Holdings made an IPO on the Johannesburg Securities Exchange (JSE) on 14 August 2007
