MBABANE– Locals will soon fly straight to Cape Town as of Friday!
As of Friday, June 2, 2023, emaSwati will now travel straight to South Africa’s oldest city at an affordable price through Eswatini Air.
This will mark the last phase of the Eswatini Air flights launch, the most recent one being a flight to Durban which was launched over two weeks ago.
The launch of flights to the above-mentioned city followed the launch of the flight to Harare, in Zimbabwe, which was on April 14, 2023.
Eswatini Air launched its first flight in March, where the first flight was to Johannesburg, still in the neighbouring country.
The last phase, which is the flight to Cape Town, will be in two days. The distance between Eswatini and Cape Town is 1 732 kilometres and the flight will only be just over two hours.
Flights to Durban and Johannesburg cost E1 300 while flights to Harare cost E2 100 and flights to Cape Town will cost E2 200.
Worth noting is that all fares apply for one-way flights.
The Eswatini Air Communications Team confirmed the first flight to Cape Town today saying people should not miss out on their launch fares, and get their tickets.
“Capitalise on our special launch fares and purchase your flight ticket now,” said the Communications Team.
The team further advised the public that for bookings, they should email reservations@eswatiniair.co.sz or call the Eswatini office at +268 25180100, the South African office at +27 10 880 6407 Johannesburg Office and Harare office at +263 242 762958/9.
