South African Airways increases its connectivity between Perth and Johannesburg

The airline returned to Perth in January with three services per week. It has now added a fourth service and will add a fifth service from January 2025.

Perth Airport’s Chief Commercial and Aviation Officer Kate Holsgrove said South African Airways adding more services into Perth was great news for Perth and Western Australia.

 
“The increase to five services per week on the airline’s Airbus A340-300 aircraft will result in 131,560 seats being available on the route per year which is a massive bump to the Perth market.

“This is great news for Perth and Western Australian residents who have family connections in South Africa and for those looking to travel and explore the African continent.

South African Airways operates the PER-JNB service on an A340-300 which has a total of 253 seats configured with 38 Business Class seats and 215 Economy Class seats.
