SOUTH AFRICAN AIRWAYS has the largest route network
within Southern Africa, offering flights to
over 30 destinations from its hubs in
Johannesburg and Cape Town.

The airline operates daily overnight flights to Johannesburg and Cape Town from Terminal 1 at London's Heathrow Airport, effectively giving customers an extra two days holiday.

SAA has recently replaced older-generation A340-200 with a brand-new A330-200 aircraft on its London-Cape Town route.

The A330 already operates one of the two daily flights to Johannesburg, so now over 60 per cent of the UK operations are operated by aircraft less than a year old. The A330 is not only more fuel efficient – it reduces a carbon footprint – but also offers more service enhancements for SAA’s customers, like state-of-the-art in-flight entertainment.

Some of the great features of their international wide-bodied aircraft:
