The private company owns 51% of the airline.


The national carrier says it will start with flights between Johannesburg to Cape Town - as well as, Accra, Kinshasa, Harare, Lusaka and Maputo.


It says it will add more destinations later.


At the same time, Comair says its planes will be flying again from next Wednesday.


The airline, which operates kulula.com and British Airways had suspended services due to low demand and in response to the Level 4 lockdown.
