South African Airways Adds New Non-stop
On May 1, popular South African Airways will add an ultra-long rage A340-600 on a new nonstop route from New York (JFK) to Johannesburg. The new nonstop service on the northbound flight will eliminate the stop in Dakar, Senegal and reduce the overall flying time by more than 90 minutes. SAA flight #204 departs New York’s Kennedy at 11:15 am, and arrives Johannesburg at 8:40 the next morning, allowing for good connections to onward African destinations.
SA flight #203 will depart Johannesburg’s Tambo International Airport at 8:36 pm, allowing travelers a full day in Johannesburg, arriving JFK at 6:40 a.m. in plenty of time to make connections to most U.S.
South African Airways continues to offer one-stop service from Washington’s Dulles International airport down to Johannesburg via an A340-300. The carrier serves dozens of destinations throughout South Africa, sub-Saharan Africa, East Africa and Africa’s Indian Ocean Islands. South African has one of the biggest route networks in Africa and utilizes new-technology aircraft.
