South African Airways (SAA) is resuming flights between Johannesburg (JNB) and Durban (DUR) with a 3X-daily service from March 4.
The airline, which relaunched commercial operations last September, said the restart of JNB-DUR would further support the recovery of South Africa’s business and tourism sectors.
Interim CEO Thomas Kgokolo added: “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.”
‘‘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,” the CEO notes.
