Confirmed: Virgin Atlantic Airlines reinstates direct flights on SA route
Virgin Atlantic Airlines will resume scheduled passenger flights to South Africa later this month.
After a lengthy period without direct scheduled flights between South Africa and the United Kingdom, Virgin Atlantic Airlines is set to resume services to Johannesburg in the next few weeks.
The discovery of the 501y.v2 variant in South Africa in December last year resulted in the UK government imposing a travel ban on South Africa. All airlines operating flights between the two countries were obligated to suspend their services as a result of the directive issued by the UK government.
Britain’s national carrier British Airways has opened its online booking system and is already selling seats from 23 June on its flights from London to both Johannesburg and Cape Town.
Does this mean there may be good news on the horizon for South Africa as far as the UK’s flight and entry bans are concerned? Or is British Airways simply being hopeful that it will be able to restart flights to South Africa ?
UK BAN DUE TO THREAT OF SA VARIANT
A ban on South African travellers was imposed in December 2020 when the new coronavirus variant (dubbed the South African variant) was detected in South Africa last year. Since then, only travellers with permits entitling them to live or work in Britain have been allowed to travel to the United Kingdom from South Africa.
