FlySafair says it has received approval to operate flights to 11 new destinations within the Southern African region, following a meeting of the Air Services Licensing Council of South Africa (ASLC).
Various bilateral agreements exist between South Africa and neighbouring countries which govern the number of weekly flights that can be operated by different airlines in these markets. In South Africa these frequencies are awarded to airlines by the ASLC which is part of the Department of Transport, the group said.
FlySafair is one of the few local airlines still in the air following the grounding of several airlines over the past several months. The low-budget airline welcomed another Boeing 737-800 to its fleet at the end of last month, making it 25 aircraft in total. The new aircraft will be the first painted in FlySafair’s new livery and entered service on 1 October.
Earlier this year, the low-cost carrier applied for rights to operate connections to a number of new destinations throughout the Southern African region, as well as additional frequencies to the island of Mauritius which it already operates twice weekly, it said. Our route map just keeps growing! With 120 daily flights to all major cities in SA, & now between Jozi & Bloem too, and let’s not forget Mauritius, your choice on where to go is endless!
