SAA is adding a flight between Johannesburg’s OR Tambo International Airport and Mauritius, effective December 1.

There will be two daily morning departures from Johannesburg to Mauritius:

• Flight SA190 will depart Johannesburg at 09h40 and arrive in Mauritius at 15h40 local time.
• Flight SA192 will depart Johannesburg at 10h45 and arrive in Mauritius at 16h45 local time.

The return flights from Mauritius to Johannesburg are as follows:

• Flight SA191 will depart Mauritius at 16h30 and arrive in Johannesburg at 18h55.
• Flight SA193 will depart Mauritius at 17h35 and arrive in Johannesburg at 20h00.

“Our decision to increase the frequency of flights to Mauritius was driven by demand for leisure and business travellers,” said Tebogo Tsimane, SAA’s Interim Chief Commercial Officer.

SAA said in a statement that increasing the flight frequencies of its current destinations is a key component of SAA’s growth strategy.

“As intra-African trade gains traction on the back of the African Continental Free Trade Area, SAA plans to be the premium airline of choice to connect Africans and transport goods. The Africa region presents exciting growth opportunities and is pivotal in our future plans,” added Tsimane.
