South Africa Airways plans 24-hour flights
News added by zak under Airline News
Johannesburg - South African Airways (SAA) will offer flights on a 24-hour basis during the World Cup tournament to meet the expected demand. Acting SAA CEO Chris Smyth says accommodation challenges during the tournament will push up the demand for flights to south africa.
“There’s simply not enough accommodation available in all the host cities, and visitors will therefore be accommodated in other areas where space is available. That includes places like the Lost City, George, East London and even Mauritius. The result is that the demand for flights will increase, because the visitors will have to travel to and from the matches.” Smyth says that SAA currently flies about 15 hours a day.
He says a further reason for the need for flights on a 24-hour basis is the fact that the major games will be played late at night.
