SAA has applied for an
air service licence to
fly to Lubumbashi from
OR Tambo, King Shaka
International Airport and
Cape Town International
Airport.
The application was
published in the July 6
Government Gazette and
is for seven flights per
week.
A relief schedule that
was put together by SAA,
Mango and Airlink shortly
after the grounding of
SA Express, did not
include the Lubumbashi
route – which was
previously serviced by SAX
– because none of the
airlines is licensed to fly
to Lubumbashi.
Congo Airways
commenced flights
between Johannesburg
and Lubumbashi in midMay.
The airline is not
supported in the GDS and
has appointed Lunar Travel
as its preferred selling
agent in South Africa.
