British Airways, operated by Comair, has announced two new routes to East London and is offering fares 35% lower than fares currently offered on these routes.
The airline said it would offer 13 weekly flights between Johannesburg and East London and seven between Cape Town and East London.
“As we expand our schedule and offer more choice, we are pleased to now offer the full-service British Airways experience on these new routes,” said Desmond O’Connor, Executive Head of Revenue Management.
He said furthermore, East London would also be displayed as a destination, as part of British Airways’ global distribution network.
“We anticipate that our new flights will open up more opportunities for corporate and leisure travellers to conduct business or enjoy a welcome break in the beautiful Eastern Cape,” said O’Connor.
He said BA would be offering holiday packages through its tour operating divisions in a bid to “help rejuvenate domestic tourism to the region.”
