Botswana routes in the pipeline for domestic carrier

15 Nov 2017 - by Tessa Reed
Comments | 0

CEMAIR has applied for four

routes into Botswana and

plans to apply for additional

routes into other SADC

countries and expand its

domestic network in the first

quarter of next year.

The routes applied for are

Johannesburg to Gaborone,

Maun and Kasane as well as

Cape Town to Gaborone.

The applications for the

routes were in the final

phase, ceo Miles van der

Molen told TNW.

He explained that the

licences had been issued

and the airline was just

waiting for Botswana to

designate the frequency on

the route.

Cemair already operates

flights from Cape Town to

Gaborone on behalf of Air

Botswana on a wet-lease

basis. However, when the

airline starts operating its

own flights, it is likely to

enter into a codeshare with

Air Botswana.

In terms of the airline’s

domestic expansion, Miles

said it would increase

frequencies on the

Bloemfontein route and also

introduce new routes.

Cemair was also expanding

its fleet, having recently taken

delivery of a Bombardier

Q400, while a CRJ 900 would

be coming online soon too,

said Miles.

There has been much

talk of the acquisition of

Air Botswana, but Miles

confirmed that while Cemair

had submitted an expression

of interest, it had not

received feedback on this.
