BRITISH Airways has stepped into the gap left by South African Airways (SAA) when SAA pulled its flights between Cape Town and Durban last month.
Comair said yesterday it would add five extra British Airways flights a week between the two cities.
Last month SAA said its low-cost sibling Mango would take over its flights from November 1. Mango does not offer a business class and some passengers were likely to change to rival airlines .
While Mango has provided the same number of seats on the route, there is still a market for a full-service carrier, with Comair electing to use the British Airways brand rather than kulula.com.
As reported earlier, SAA flights between Cape Town and Durban are now being booked on a code-share with Mango Airlines. Smart move from BA, since I would also rather fly on BA than on Mango.
