CemAir will launch a new domestic route connecting George and Hoedspruit from May 17, 2026.
The new route will operate three times weekly on Tuesdays, Thursdays and a limited scheduled on Sundays, providing flexible travel options for both leisure and business travellers.
Flight 5Z970 will depart George at 08h10 and arrive in Hoedspruit at 10h25. The return flight 5Z971 will depart Hoedspruit at 10h55 and arrive in George at 13h20.
CemAir says it will increase the frequency of flights if demand grows.
“We are pleased to launch a direct connection between Hoedspruit and George, two destinations that showcase the very best of South Africa’s natural beauty,” said Shaniel Singh, Chief Commercial Officer at CemAir. “This route removes the need for travellers to transit through major hubs and strengthens local tourism by making travel between the bush and the coast more convenient and accessible.”
The new service provides a valuable link for tour operators, safari lodges and travellers seeking efficient travel between the Kruger area and the Garden Route.
