MBABANE– Ready to make their bookings and fly out of the country!
These are emaSwati, who expressed their excitement, welcoming the newly-revealed Eswatini Air ticket fares, saying they were very affordable and they would now be flying out of the country regularly.
Some locals took this to their social media, after Eswatini Air, in a press conference, told emaSwati that they would now make their bookings before the end of March. Eswatini Air will make trips to Johannesburg, Durban, Cape Town and Harare in Zimbabwe.
Flight fare to Johannesburg and Durban is E1 300, to Cape Town ticket costs E2 100 and flight fare to Harare is E2 200.
One Muzi Dlamini from Manzini said the fares were reasonable and it made it impossible for one not to think about flying out of the country.
“Being on the road is obviously cheaper but flying is convenient and a great experience for one. I will book my first flight this very month,” said Dlamini.
Another Lwazi Shongwe from Mbabane said she was definitely going to make her booking to Durban as soon as lines were open, stating that she had never flown before.
“I have always thought that flying is expensive. I guess Eswatini Air has presented to me an opportunity to fly nilly willy,” said Shongwe.
Today, APG Airlines welcomed Eswatini Air as a new interline partner and member of their APG IET ticketing portfolio.
