Introduction
This document represents a summarised version of the Business Plan which is available on the Standby Travel web site, www.standby.co.za. The comprehensive business plan is also available at the offices of the company auditors, Mac Lachlan Inc, Durbanville. Government endorsed partners within the transport sector recently made an effort to purchase a majority share of Standby Travel Ltd. The idea was for them to own 60% of the company. Inhouse disagreements at their organisation necessitated a change in the agreement. The BEE component would no longer come from these recommended partners but the vision is that this BEE component comes from the individual transport operators from the individual transport taxi association regions. The Executive Directors of Standby Travel have subsequently strategized to involve representatives at various regional offices. These representatives are been empowered with the knowledge and resources to satisfy the needs of the individual share purchase applicants. These are the people with the regional targets required to enrol the operators into Standby Travel. Once finalised, these share holders will represents (arguably) the largest Broad Based Black Economic Empowerment organisation within the Transport sector in the country. This marriage guarantees a sustainable economic transformation model for the country as a whole. Governments open support sees this as a project similar even to the World Cup Soccer project. The Standby Directors and originators have had the unique opportunity to negotiate these matters at the very highest levels of government which assures us that we are supported and remain on the right track. There is absolutely no question as to the power that our designated partners yield. They represent a market that transports over 15 million passengers daily - with turnovers (also daily) exceeding R250 million. As a whole, this industry is recognised as the largest (public) transport system in South Africa with over 180 000 aligned and registered owners being represented to government within this transport sector alone.
The Standby Express model allows for an integrated transport system where passengers will experience booking in at central hubs being transported to the airports and be transported again to their destination hubs. With the verbal endorsement of various national and provincial government structures Standby Express is able to offer these passenger seats on a local airline at prices fractionally more expensive than currently being paid on road transport. The difference in value is based on the travel time. The road trip is a 26 hour return trip for about R1000 whilst the Standby Express experience is (on average) a R1400 return air journey which takes a total of only three hours return. The inaugural (Poof of Concept) flight took place between Lanseria Airport and Bisho on the 16th September 2011. It was endorsed and supported by the highest levels of government. The success of this flight received substantial media coverage which can be witnessed by the Google of Santaco Airlines. Nothing has changed regarding this flight besides the fact that the share ownership power has been handed to the designated individual investors rather than the organisation. 2. Standby Card With Standbys introduction of the their membership card, Standby has created the future standard setters for Governments paperless payment strategy a seamless, cashless, manageable transport payment system that ALSO allows for banking and loyalty club benefits. Standby has aimed for 1% of the regional markets per week in the first year (2500) escalating to 4% (10 000) by year three. The sales and marketing strategy budgets for incomes of R4.39 per month per card on these valuable cards. The value of the cards is based on its capacity to allow for the purchase and management of shares, the purchase and discounts of the airline tickets as well as discounted items at various strategic stores around the country. 3. Fly Standby Air tickets : Discounted flights for all and a chance for airlines to clear their distressed stock! The intention is that these tickets will be obtained from airlines after they no longer have fiscal value to the airlines themselves - as they would be deemed to have passed their sell by date. These are often referred to as Distressed Stock i.e. airline seats that have NOT been sold and are unlikely to be sold before the specific departure date. The intent is that these seats are then made available to Standby who in turn will offer them to our unique customer base at discounted rates. One of the key attributes to this product offering is the support of government who acknowledge that the introduction of our model to service providers could effectively add as much as R750 million per annum to the aviation economy - with limited fiscal drag to Government or service providers.
