The route from the Port Elizabeth International Airport to Lanseria in Johannesburg has been cancelled by Mango Airlines six months after the first flight between two locations, HeraldLive reported.
Mango offered two flights from Port Elizabeth daily at R399 when the route was launched and the first flight on the Port Elizabeth – Lanseria route took off on 11 July, 2019. The route was shut down on 15 January.
Operating the route was made possible by the Nelson Mandela Bay municipality along with the Nelson Mandela Bay Business Chamber, the Eastern Cape Development Corporation and Mango.
“An investment was made to infiltrate the market with sales campaigns, but things did not go according to plan so the route has been terminated,” said Mango’s spokesperson Sergio Santos – van Vuuren.
