Johannesburg – Cape Town is now the favourite destination for British Airlines (BA) passengers worldwide, and the airline is starting a new daily flight to Cape Town as from November.
BA says its new Boeing 777 will be introduced for the route.
Sue Botes, BA’s commercial manager in South Africa, says demand for flights to Cape Town was on the rise even before the World Cup soccer tournament.
Passengers throughout the world who fly BA have identified Cape Town as their favourite destination.
Botes says the airline is accommodating the increasing demand by offering additional flights.
From November onwards BA will have two daily flights to Cape Town, compared with the current single one.
The second daily flight will be just in time for the South African summer, Botes said on Tuesday.
She said reservations for flights to Cape Town and Johannesburg look very good and she reckons South Africa is one of BA’s most profitable routes.
Over the past two years BA has been severely impacted by a downturn in the airline business. More than 2 000 jobs have been shed worldwide.
One of the two daily flights to Cape Town from November will be on BA’s new Boeing 777.
