BA reduces CPT flights for winter 2016

BRITISH Airways will cancel
two of its weekly services
between London Heathrow
and Cape Town International
Airport from March 27 for
the duration of the South
African winter season.
Flight BA045 LHR-CPT
has been cancelled on
Thursdays and Saturdays,
while return flight BA044
has been cancelled on
Fridays and Sundays.
The new flight schedule
will see BA0058 depart
Cape Town at 19h30 from
Sunday to Friday to arrive
in London at 06h15. On
Saturdays, BA0058 will
depart Cape Town at
20h20 to arrive in London
Heathrow at 07h15 next
day, and BA0042 will depart
Cape Town at 21h50 to
arrive in London at 08h30
next day.
A BA representative said
the frequency reduction
followed extensive analysis
which revealed the level
of demand for the Cape
Town to London schedule.
“We frequently make
seasonal adjustments
to our routes to reflect
the level of demand on
destinations depending
on the time of year,” the
representative said.
