As part of its regional expansion, South African Airways will launch new service to Lubumbashi in the DRC on 4 November, 2024. The services will operate from the airline's hub in Johannesburg.
The service will operate five times a week - on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays. Outbound flight will depart Johannesburg at 10h50 and arrive Lubumbashi at 13h20. Inbound service from Lubumbashi will depart at 14h10 and arrive Johannesburg a little more than three hours later. There is no time difference between South Africa and DRC.
The schedule of five weekly flights is engineered to accommodate both point-to-point and connecting passengers.
Many of the DRC’s biggest companies have their headquarters in Lubumbashi. Departure and arrival times between the two cities enable seamless ground transfers to customer offices and sites that serve trade and industry in both nations, as well as other key destinations in the DRC and neighbouring Zambia.
In addition to ferrying passengers, South African Airways will offer superior cargo capacity to meet the requirements of traders between the two cities.
“There is strong market demand, both in South Africa and the DRC, for direct air connectivity between the two nations. Demand is driven by business, trade and the fact that Johannesburg and Lubumbashi are mining powerhouse cities of the continent,” says SAA Interim Chief Executive Officer, Professor John Lamola.
“Providing this service entrenches SAA’s status as an enabler of intra-African trade, connectivity and Africa’s economic growth and development. It also, as a response to market demand, serves the determination of this airline to move decisively towards profitable sustainability,” he says.
