The name of the company, “one timeâ€, is a South African expression meaning “for real”. The founders owned an aviation Holding company, Afrisource Holdings, through which they became owners of Aeronexus, an aviation company that offered various aircraft services. With the resultant decline in the aviation business making planes obtainable cheaply, they realised the prospect to establish a low-cost airline.
