Fly Blue Crane launches new flights to Mthatha
Fly Blue Crane is
launching a new service from OR Tambo International Airport in Johannesburg to
Mthatha in the Eastern Cape from Wednesday October 5, 2016 – with bookings for
the flights open for sale.
The airline’s
Chief Commercial Officer, Theunis Potgieter, said the new service would offer
two return flights a day from Monday to Friday, and one return flight on
Saturdays and Sundays.
“Fly Blue Crane is
responding to what customers travelling between Johannesburg and Mthatha have
always wanted: the enhanced convenience of frequent flights through high
on-time performance, commitment to consistent service excellence and highly
competitive fares,” Potgieter said.
The airline, which
took to the skies from its Johannesburg hub in September 2015, already flies to
Kimberley and Bloemfontein, as well as between Kimberley and Cape Town, and
between Bloemfontein and Cape Town. It also offers cargo services on all its
flights.
The new flights to
Mthatha come on top of other plans by Fly Blue Crane to launch services to a
number of destinations in Southern Africa.
“All the planned
new services are in line with Fly Blue Crane's regional ambitions that we
articulated at the time of our launch last year. Our aim in the coming years is
to make air travel an altogether better, convenient and more rewarding
experience in the entire Southern Africa sub-region,” Potgieter said.
The airline
operates modern and fuel-efficient 50-seater Embraer Regional Jet 145 (ERJ)
aircraft in a single class configuration. It uses the International Air
Transport Association (IATA) code 7B.
