South African Airways (SAA) is expanding its network on the African continent, launching new A319 services to Bujumbura (Burundi), Kigali (Rwanda) and Cotonou (Benin) from 31 October this year.
“Bujumbura is Burundi’s capital and largest city,” said SAA's head of Australasia, Thevan Krishna. "It is close to the country’s main port, shipping coffee as its primary export.
In addition to being the capital city of Rwanda, Kigali is also its economic, cultural and transport hub. Cotonou is the economic capital of Benin and its most-populated city.”
SAA will service Bujumbura and Kigali three times a week while flights to Cotonou will operate twice a week as an extension of SAA's existing Libreville (Gabon) service.
"SAA will withdraw from the Johannesburg-Gaborone route from 07 August, 2011," said Krishna. "SA Express now operates between Johannesburg and Gaborone and will increase its frequency with a smaller gauge aircraft."
