Flying High To South Africa & Beyond With Qatar Airways
This summer, the airline will soar to new heights with additional flights during the peak season. Between mid-December and mid-January, Cape Town will welcome 12 flights weekly, while Johannesburg will see 18. If Durban is your destination, Qatar Airways has you covered with five flights a week via Mozambique. The airline is committed to connecting travellers with Africa’s diverse landscapes and vibrant cities, ensuring smoother access to everything from safaris to shopping sprees.
Celebrating 20 Years Of Commitment To South Africa
As Qatar Airways approaches its 20th anniversary of operating in South Africa, the airline is showing no signs of slowing down. Its decision to increase flight frequency reflects not just market demand but a firm belief in South Africa’s tourism potential. Moreover, Qatar Airways recently acquired a 25% stake in Airlink, a leading South African airline, reinforcing its confidence in Africa’s growth as a travel hub. With this partnership, seamless connections to smaller regional destinations will now be possible, opening up more opportunities for adventurers.
Why Does This Expansion Matters For Tourism?
South Africa’s tourism sector is ready for a post-pandemic revival, and Qatar Airways is playing its part in the rebound. More flights mean more tourists and more tourists mean better business for local hospitality, restaurants, and attractions. Whether it’s an adrenaline-filled safari or wine tasting in Stellenbosch, travellers now have more flight options to tailor their journeys. The airline’s increased connectivity will attract both leisure and business travellers, giving South Africa the exposure it deserves.
With more routes, better connections, and enhanced regional partnerships, the airline is paving the way for a tourism surge. As it celebrates two decades in South Africa, the airline is setting the stage for even greater adventures and business possibilities ahead.
