SAA spreading its wings with flights to Durban from March
The South African Airways (SAA) have announced that flights
to Durban will resume from March.
SAA’s interim CEO Thomas Kgokolo says the route between Durban and Johannesburg is one of the busiest.
“The short-haul route between Johannesburg and Durban is one of the busiest in South Africa, and our customers and partners have been asking us to fly this route since we took to the skies again in September 2021.
“We’ve been waiting for the data to guide us on timing and we’re delighted that the time is now right to add this important route back to the SAA network and further support the recovery of South Africa’s business and tourism sectors.”
Kgokolo says SAA wants to make it easier for its customers on the continent to reach Durban.
“SAA will make it easier for customers from across its growing Africa network to reach Durban on a single SAA ticket, and easier for Durbanites to conveniently connect on SAA to Accra, Harare, Kinshasa, Lagos, Lusaka and Mauritius services.”
He adds that they will be routinely evaluating passenger volumes.
“SAA has been back in service for just over three months and is constantly evaluating passenger volumes and revenue projections on all its existing and target routes. The goal is to match capacity with demand as closely as possible and add new routes only where and when it makes sense.”
