SAA resumes daily direct flights between Johannesburg and New York.

SAA is to resume daily direct flights between Johannesburg and New York on March 9, three weeks ahead of the original planned schedule.

The New York-Johannesburg sector has being operating as a direct service but the JNB-JFK sector made a refuelling stop in Dakar, Senegal. The non-stop flight is timed to land in New York in the early morning, allowing for easy connections to points in North America.

The non-stop flight schedule is as follows:

JNB-JFK: SA203 departs at 20h25 and arrives at 06h40 next day

JFK-JNB: SA204 departs at 11h15 arrives at 08h00 next day

“We’re pleased to be able to resume the northbound non-stop flight ahead of schedule,” said Marc Cavaliere, SAA executive vice president, North America. “Over the years, this service has become exceptionally popular”.
