Air Botswana will resume its service between Gaborone and Cape Town and also introduce additional flights between Gaborone and Kasane.

The airline said it would resume the Gaborone-Cape Town route from February 26.

“We will fly to Cape Town four times a week on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays,” said Daphne Osenkeng, PR Officer, adding that the flights would be faster, thanks to the use of jet aircraft. The airline is leasing a Bombardier CRJ 100 for the route.

“The service will be operated through an existing agreement with CemAir on the same current flight schedule to minimise any customer inconvenience,” the airline said.

The new direct flights between Gaborone and Kasane will operate on Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays.
