Photocap: Let's do lunch!

The monthly luncheon

event, Travelbags, was

hosted by the City Lodge

Hotel Group last month.

Friends of the travel

industry gathered on

a very chilly afternoon

at the Hyatt Regency in

Johannesburg. Pictured

Travel Services.

Photocap: A new home for Etihad

Etihad Airways has relocated to new premises in Sandton, Johannesburg. The move is a

result of the expansion of its operation within the region, and will provide increased access

for trade and regional partners. The new premises are now on the sixth floor of the Ernst &

Young building in Sandton. Pictured here (from left): Etihad Airways crew member, Donray

Appointment

With over a decade of experience in the travel industry, Warren Tanner-Ellis has joined Diners Club SA as manager of Corporate Inland. He will, among other things, be involved in the business development of the new Diners Club Dynamic Virtual Card (DVC). 

To the point



FlySafair will temporarily withdraw its Cape Town-George route

from August 23 and resume services on December 10 in time for

the busy holiday season. However, it will increase frequencies on

other routes to meet high demand. The airline says flights between

George and Cape Town are very popular during summer months,

with an increase in demand of 130% in the first six months.

Demand has, however, decreased dramatically during the winter

months. “It does not make business sense for us to continue

operations during the winter months if we want to manage our

costs and continue to provide our passengers with the lowest fares

in the market,” says Elmar Conradie, ceo of FlySafair.
