Guy covers Southern Africa for Aviation Week Network publication African Aerospace. He was born in England and grew up in South Africa. He has a PhD on African airline connectivity modeling and holds Private and Glider Pilot licenses.
In the 1990s he started writing and contributing to aviation and financial publications. In 2005, he acquired SA Flyer Magazine. He has become an aviation analyst in demand by South African TV, radio and print publications.
Within 10 years of being founded, FlySafair has rapidly grown to become the dominant domestic airline in South Africa, having more than 60 per cent of the intensely-competitive market. Guy Leitch asked CEO Elmar Conradie how he has accomplished such strong growth and simultaneously achieved significant awards.
