SAA has announced plans to introduce the new A330-300 on the London route from March and to adjust frequencies to a single daily service.
At the end of last year, SAA announced network remediation on the domestic and regional markets and the airline has now turned its attention to its international network.
“We have also decided to upgrade the service operating between Johannesburg and London Heathrow to the new Airbus A330-300 with effect from March 25,” said SAA CEO, Vuyani Jarana.
With effect from April 20, SAA will operate a single daily flight from Johannesburg to Heathrow, replacing the current double-daily service.
“We will continue to operate the daily non-stop SA234/SA235 service and our codeshare partners’ domestic and regional networks,” Jarana concluded.
SAA has leased the second Heathrow slot, giving the airline the flexibility to reinstate a second flight at the end of the lease period, providing the airline an opportunity to grow and develop in the future.
SAA has announced a flexible re-accommodation policy for customers currently booked on SA236/SA237 to switch to the earlier SA234/SA235 service.
