The carrier will operate flights between OR Tambo International Airport and Plettenberg Bay with connecting flights between Plettenberg Bay and Cape Town International Airport.
Alan Winde, minister of finance, economic development and tourism, welcomed the new flights.
“According to the organisers, market research has identified a need for a route between Cape Town and Plettenberg Bay. It’s good for tourism, more airlift always benefits the destination. The introduction of this flight service is great news for consumers as additional flights create better pricing,” he said.
