Domestic and regional carrier CemAir will start four weekly flights between Cape Town and the Northern Cape provincial capital of Kimberley, from February 17.
CemAir CEO Miles van der Molen told Travel News that the airline, which has been on a strong expansion drive, had launched the route in response to daily requests received from potential customers.
“This is one of the routes that we have wanted to start for a while, and we’re eyeing up others such as Johannesburg to Umtata. On peak days we expect there to be strong demand for the flights.”
