Air China will commence direct flights into South Africa from March as part of the strengthening of its code share agreement with South African Airways (SAA), an inside source has told eTNW.
DoT deputy director: licensing and permits, Andries Ntjane, also confirmed that Air China had made a request for designation to operate on the route to South Africa. He explained that since Air China is a licensed operator, there shouldn’t be any major hurdles. “It’s just a formality,” he added.
