Fastjet, That indeed is good news. I can only imagine that they were selling tickets but had not got all their ducks in a row in terms of authorisations and suspended selling flights to force the relevant authorities to get a move on or take the blame. This would seem to have worked as I now feel they must have the authorisations and are able to promote leading up to Christmas Travel. It was probably wise to do this as any later cancellation so close to Christmas would have been a Big Problem, if passengers had to rebook at Christmas. Just look at the Mess Ryanair have got into.
While it is good news to see another route added to our network, I cannot really see much demand for a twice weekly flight operating between approx. 01:00 and 02:00 in the morning, for a distance of only 250 miles. If we could introduce a twice daily rotation between the two cities, then I do think it could become a busy route. Business travellers do not normally wish to get involved in overnight stays when commuting between two cities in such close proximity to one another and a morning and evening flight would allow business travellers from either country to fly out in the morning, conduct a days business and return home that evening. This should become possible very soon, as we increase our fleet in Zimbabwe and or SA..
Hillwi, I'm hearing now that the passenger rights are in the bag so to speak , our next addition which has been mentioned by a few in the past including your good self? Is going to be LUN JNB via HRE
Fjetcrazy, The LUN-JNB, whether via HRE or direct, sounds good. My preference would be direct flights LUN-JNB-LUN and LUN-HRE-LUN. The fact SAA operate LUN-JNB-LUN direct would give them the edge, as against our stopover in HRE. The flight time from LUN-JNB direct is just under 2 hours (750 miles), whereas via HRE it would be almost 3 hours 30 minutes including the stopover at HRE.
Let's see what they bring to the table, news can't be far away, lots chatter going on about new routes but very difficult to translate and even when I do they not making much sense
