South African Airways (SAA) and Air Mauritius have reached a codeshare agreement on the routes between Johannesburg, Durban, Cape Town and Mauritius. This new agreement is in addition to SAA’s present daily flights between Johannesburg and Mauritius. SAA operates between Johannesburg and Mauritius seven days a week, while Air Mauritius operates five times to and from Johannesburg, twice a week to and from Cape Town and Durban respectively.
Our collaboration with Air Mauritius will serve to offer our customers more flight options to one of Africa’s most attractive and popular leisure destinations,” says Nomfanelo Magwentshu, SAA General Manager Business Development.
A key focus for SAA is to expand its route network within Africa, as the leading airline on the continent.
The airline is consistently exploring possibilities of increasing and introducing new destinations to the network in order to make travel more convenient for its customers.
“We are pleased we could foster a relationship with Air Mauritius as part of the growing number of partnerships SAA has with fellow African airlines,” says Magwentshu.
SAA operates to over 20 destinations in Africa and has codeshare agreements with Air Senegal, Air Tanzania and Ethiopian Airlines on the continent.
“We are confident that with such an extensive network, we will live up to our intention of bringing the world to Africa and taking Africa to the world, says Magwentshu.
Like many tropical countries, Mauritius has found Saccharum to be the most effective cash crop, and has planted it just about everywhere. On mountains it covers the lower slopes leaving only the steep upper slopes for native vegetation. From a distance it looks like a wash of almost silvery green.
