BA to launch CPT-LGW flights

BRITISH Airways will launch three
weekly direct flights between Gatwick
and Cape Town, starting on November
24, the airline has announced.
The flights will depart Gatwick at
18h00 on Mondays, Thursdays and
Saturdays and arrive in Cape Town at
07h50 the following morning.
Wesgro has welcomed the
development. Wesgro ceo,

would have a positive impact on
tourism, trade and investment

investment source market.
