Eswatini Air, the national airline of the Kingdom of Eswatini, has successfully launched its flights to Cape Town, South Africa, completing its four-phase launch plan. The new direct route between Matsapha International Airport in Eswatini and Cape Town International Airport will provide enhanced connectivity options for travelers in the region.
Operating with a 50-seater Embraer ERJ145 aircraft, Eswatini Air will initially offer three weekly flights on Wednesdays, Fridays, and Sundays. The carefully planned schedule aims to cater to both leisure and business travelers, providing convenient options for their travel needs. With direct flights, passengers will enjoy a seamless and efficient travel experience, eliminating the hassle of layovers or connecting flights.
The launch of flights to Cape Town signifies the successful completion of Eswatini Air’s four-phase launch plan. The airline embarked on its journey by connecting Eswatini to Johannesburg, followed by the addition of Harare and Durban to its network. The final phase of the plan saw the introduction of flights to Cape Town, solidifying Eswatini Air’s presence in key destinations across Southern Africa.
The expansion of Eswatini Air’s route network not only provides convenient travel options for passengers but also contributes to the growth and development of the tourism and business sectors in both Eswatini and Cape Town. The direct link between the two cities will facilitate increased trade, cultural exchange, and tourism opportunities, further strengthening the ties between the two regions.
