Comair applies for London Route
Johannesburg - 20 August 2007: Comair Limited (Comair), the listed group operating British Airways Domestic and Regional routes and low fare airline, kulula.com - today announced that it had submitted an application to the International Air Services Licensing Council to commence flights to London.
The airline currently carries over 3,3 million customers each year both domestically and within Southern Africa. The most recent route to be added was the Johannesburg – Mauritius route. According to Gidon Novick, Joint CEO of the 61 year old airline group, “We believe that the London route would contribute positively to our already extensive domestic and regional network and are preparing a very strong case for the license application.”
Comair is simultaneously investigating various options to acquire wide-body aircraft that would be required to operate the long haul route.
