SOUTH African Airways (SAA) announced that it will resume daily flights between Johannesburg and Durban in March.
According to Thomas Kgokolo, the SAA Interim chief executive officer, flights will resume after it assessed the demand from customers and partners.
“The short-haul route between Johannesburg and Durban is one of the busiest in South Africa. 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.

“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,” Kgokolo said.
Kgokolo added that the airline would choose routes based on several factors and that flights are already operational to Cape Town and some countries in Africa.
“Our overriding remit is to make sure SAA becomes and remains a successful and profitable carrier in this constantly changing and highly competitive environment,” Kgokolo said.
