Comair to re-start kulula and British Airways flights
South African airline Comair, which operates the low-cost kulula brand and a local franchise of British Airways, has announced that it will be back in the skies again from 01 September 2021 as planned. The airline temporarily suspended operations on 05 July 2021 in response to the implementation of an adjusted Level 4 lockdown in South Africa, the prohibition of all non-essential travel in and out of Gauteng and low demand for air travel. During the suspension the services, the airline has developed some new, flexible fare options for its kulula brand to better meet customers’ differing requirements. Called Travel Your Way the three bundled kulula fare offerings allow customers to pay only for what they need. They are:
- Fly Light: A hop-on, hop-off option for those with only cabin bags offering the best possible fares. A change of booking fee of R299 applies.
- Pack & Go: An all-round option to suit most traveller’s needs including one piece of checked luggage weighing up to 20kg and two free booking changes.
- Fully Loaded: A fully flexible option allowing unlimited booking changes, two checked bags and Q-Jump to speed-up check-in procedures.
British Airways (operated by Comair) will re-launch it’s Johannesburg <> Mauritius route operating two flights a week from 30 November 2021. It plans to add a third flight in future.
