Flyafrica.com will launch daily flights between Harare and Johannesburg from November 1.
Sales for the flights will open at midday on September 22 with fares starting from R399 one way, excluding taxes.
“Today’s announcement is another milestone both for our airline and for developing business in Africa,” says Adrian Hamilton-Manns, group CEO of flyafrica.com. “Business and leisure travellers have paid too much for too long to travel between Harare and Johannesburg. Our fare of R399, compared with the R1 660 offered by our competitors, shows flyafrica.com’s commitment to bringing low fares to Africa. Our daily Harare-Johannesburg flight marks the entry by flyafrica.com into a traditional business route and we are confident that every business will welcome the opportunity to reduce its travel cost by 80%.”
The airline also operates a Victoria Falls-JNB service.
