End of Federal Air and Comair Agreement

Federal Airlines has announced that as of 11 February, it will no longer use the British Airways livery on its Johannesburg – Vilanculos route.

 The current ATR aircraft, dressed in British Airways livery, is part of a leasing agreement with Comair and Solenta Aviation that came into effect in October 2011. The agreement will cease in conjunction with Comair announcing the closure of its current Johannesburg – Nelspruit service.

 Federal Air remains the official Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) license holder of the Johannesburg – Vilanculos route, and will continue to own and operate the route as it has since 2006.

 There will be no effective changes made to the daily operations. Federal Air will continue to operate the ATR aircraft on the Vilanculos route, and the current timetable and operations will continue as normal.

 Federal Air flies more daily direct flights from Johannesburg to Vilanculos International Airport than any other airline.
