Lift has issued a statement saying it will suspend flights between Cape Town and Durban.
“Over the winter period, we have taken the decision to revise our schedule and temporarily pause our route between Cape Town and Durban, between May 7 and June 12. We are in the process of notifying all passengers and have re-accommodated everyone on the closest alternative flights. Our team is focused on minimising the impact to travellers for this period and will assist passengers with any required changes,” said a spokesperson for the airline in a statement shared with Travel News.
“We’ll still operate our full daily schedule between Durban and Joburg, and Joburg and Cape Town during this period. Flights between Cape Town and Durban are scheduled to resume on June 13. We look forward to flying this route again soon,” said Lift.
Whether flights on this route will be suspended during winter in coming years remains to be seen.
