CemAir suspends all services to Plettenberg Bay due to airport downgrading
South African domestic and regional carrier CemAir has announced the suspension of all flights from Cape Town International Airport (CPT) in Cape Town and OR Tambo International Airport (JNB) in Johannesburg into Plettenberg Bay Aerodrome (PBZ), a small airport serving Plettenberg Bay in the Western Cape.
According to the airline, the South African Civil Aviation Authority (SACAA) has downgraded the airport to below the minimum category required for CemAir's flights to operate into the airport. Passengers with tickets already booked on CemAir flights to or from Plettenberg Bay Aerodrome (PBZ) will be re-accommodated on flights from George Airport (GRJ) in George.
In addition, CemAir will be introducing a George to Cape Town service to accommodate customers on this routing.
