SAA to fly between Johannesburg and Durban again soon

State-owned airline South African Airways will fly between Johannesburg and Durban again from 4 March this year. SAA went into business rescue in December 2019 and exited business rescue 16 months later in April 2021. It started commercial flights again in September of that same year after it stopped 15 months before in May 2020. "We have been constantly evaluating our route performance and waiting for the data to guide us on the timing or the Durban relaunch. We are 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," SAA said Wednesday. Its goal is to match capacity with demand as closely as possible and add new routes only where and when it "makes sense". Since its restart, SAA has only been flying between Johannesburg and Cape Town domestically. It is currently also offering flights to Accra, Harare, Kinshasa, Lagos, Lusaka and Mauritius.<br/>
