South African Airways relaunches Johannesburg-Perth route

South African Airways (SAA) is expanding its international flight network by announcing the re-establishment of the route between its main base at Johannesburg O.R. Tambo Airport and Perth, Australia. The route, which was suspended three years ago due to the COVID-19 pandemic, marks a significant return to SAA’s flight schedule, highlighting the resumption and expansion of the airline’s international flight operations.

The renewed service to Perth is scheduled to start in late April 2024, offering three weekly flights to travellers. This reconnection with the Australian city is not only important news for passengers wishing to travel between South Africa and Australia, but it also represents an important step in SAA’s recovery strategy following the disruption caused by the pandemic.

Perth, known for its sunny climate, beautiful beaches, and vibrant culture, is a popular destination for both tourists and business travelers. The reinstatement of this route provides a direct and convenient travel option for those looking to explore Western Australia or strengthen trade links between the two regions.
