South African Airways is increasing its weekly flights between Johannesburg and Perth, offering more travel options for South Africans and tourists.
South African Airways will increase scheduled flights between Johannesburg and Perth , from next week. The airline will add a fourth weekly service between the two cities on 17 December 2024. This comes after South African Airways relaunched this route, which had been halted for four years, on 28 April 2024. The airline had been in a business rescue process which meant all flights were suspended.
Since its relaunch in September 2021, South African Airways has been cautiously relaunching international routes. The relaunch of this popular route is good news for South Africans living in both South Africa and Western Australia. Perth Airport’s Chief Commercial and Aviation Officer Kate Holsgrove said South African Airways’s addition of more flights to Perth was good news for Perth and Western Australia. Holsgrove said that the increase to five services per week on the airline’s Airbus A340-300 aircraft will result in 131,560 seats being available on the route per year. The increased frequencies between Johannesburg and Perth is good news for South Africans, Australians – and indeed anyone wishing to travel between Africa and Western Australia. Reports indicate that Australia is home to one of the largest South African expat communities abroad. In fact, data from Australia’s 2021 census, found that 189,207 Australian residents were born in South Africa. South Africa’s Home Affairs Department does not keep records on the number of people migrating from SA but it is thought that Australia has the second-largest South African expat community after the United Kingdom
