KQ to Increase Botswana Flights

According to gazettebw, Kenya Airways has taken the decision to increase the number of their flights from Nairobi to Gaborone by two, due to increased demand.
That’s because KQ has realised good growth on the route. “The introduction of the night flight to Gaborone comes as the airline aims to meet the rising demand for travel between the two cities,” said KQ Country Manager Juliet Zintambila.
The Kenya Airways network was recently expanded with three new destinations; Livingstone in Zambia, Blantyre in Malawi and Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates. The new flight departs Gaborone at 00h50 and lands in Nairobi at 06h00.
 It will be serviced by the narrow body mid-range twin engine Embraer E190. Zintambila added that KQ has ambitions to fly directly to Maun and Francistown, and is currently assessing the feasibility.

1time To Expand To Lanseria

1time Airline is set to begin operating from Lanseria International Airport in March 2012. Flights offered from the airport will include two daily return flights to Durban and Cape Town, catering mainly for the increased business activity and holiday market in March and April.

 “Lanseria Airport is a convenient option for passengers staying or operating in the Northern or North-Western suburbs of Johannesburg, as it provides a great alternative to O.R. Tambo International. The airport also presents a great opportunity to significantly increase our passenger share”, said 1time’s CEO, Rodney James.

The new routes from Lanseria International Airport represent 1time’s first venture to a so-called “secondary airport”, which is consistent with the trend of low-cost carriers the world over. For more information, visit www.1time.co.za.
