South African Airways and Regional Partner SA Airlink to Offer New Service to Maun, Botswana

(PR Web Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) Ft. Lauderdale, FL (PRWEB) April 04, 2012 South African Airways (SAA), Africa’s most awarded airline, announced that it plans to expand its extensive route network in Africa with the launch of new service between Johannesburg and Maun, Botswana - the gateway to the world-famous Okavango Delta. The service to Maun will be operated by SAA’s regional partner SA Airlink effective June 15th with 37-seat Embraer ERJ 137 regional jets. The flight schedule will allow travellers on SAA’s morning, non-stop flight from New York to Johannesburg to make a convenient, same-day connection to Maun with an arrival in the early afternoon.

“SAA is committed to offering the most extensive route network to Africa’s best leisure and business destinations, and Maun serves as a key addition to that strategy, being the best airport from which to access the beauty of the Okavango Delta,” said Todd Neuman, executive vice president, North America for South African Airways. “SAA’s new service to Maun will open up a new and convenient way to access one of Botswana’s most popular safari destinations through our partners at Airlink. Our morning non-stop service from New York to Johannesburg will provide travellers with the fastest way to arrive in Maun so that they may spend more time exploring some of the best game viewing on the African continent.” The schedule for new daily service between Johannesburg and Maun is as follows: SA 8300 departs Johannesburg at 11:45 am, arrives in Maun at 1:15 pm SA 8301 departs Maun at 2:00 pm, arrives in Johannesburg at 3:40 pm The new service to Maun complements SAA’s multiple daily flights between Johannesburg and Gaborone, Botswana, through regional partner South African Express.
