Federal Airlines elevates regional travel, again!
A spontaneous escape to the bush. A same-day business meeting in the Lowveld. Or a carefully timed safari itinerary that flows effortlessly from city to wilderness or within the wilderness. Federal Airlines is redefining regional travel with the launch of its daily scheduled Lowveld shuttle services, operating from May 18.
Built around the needs of modern travellers and the partners who plan their journeys, the new service creates reliable, seamless access between lodges and the Lowveld’s key gateways, including Kruger Mpumalanga International, Skukuza and Hoedspruit. From these hubs, travellers connect smoothly onward to some of South Africa’s most sought-after safari destinations, reducing long road transfers and maximising time spent on the ground.
A defining feature of the new schedule is its emphasis on precise timing and connectivity. Flight times have been carefully aligned to link with major domestic airline arrivals and departures, allowing travellers from Johannesburg, Cape Town, Durban or other hubs to transition efficiently on to their scheduled Lowveld flight. This makes it easier than ever for travel partners to design more detailed, multi-leg itineraries, while still accommodating short stays, quick breakaways and same-day business travel.
For the traveller, the experience is refreshingly straightforward. Access to private lounge facilities and a streamlined check-in process creates a calm, unhurried start to the journey.
FedAir offers a generous standard baggage allowance well suited to safari travel, with the option to add its new X-Class baggage for guests travelling with larger hard-shell luggage. The result is a smooth, reliable journey that allows guests to arrive on time and ready to enjoy every moment of their stay.
The experience extends beyond the aircraft itself. FedAir lounges will be available at all main Lowveld hubs, offering a comfortable and refined space for guests before departure or onward connection. Designed to reflect the airline’s private aviation standards, these lounges enhance comfort while reinforcing FedAir’s focus on personalised service.
For travel partners, the benefits are equally compelling. Daily frequency, dependable operations and carefully coordinated schedules provide confidence when planning itineraries, whether for leisure travellers, corporate clients or international guests connecting into the region. From intelligent scheduling to effortless Lowveld access, FedAir’s latest developments are focused on one clear objective: making regional travel work better.
Whether it is a last-minute safari, a focused business trip or a perfectly timed onward connection, FedAir makes it easy to whisk down to the Lowveld with confidence.
Operating daily across the Lowveld from May 18, 2026. Book today and experience a smarter way to reach the bush.
