I cannot fathom why a Europe/UK - HLE - CPT service was never done in the first place with a decent aircraft that can manage the long legs and diversion fuel
dutch Germans and Brits are all major tourism players to CPT and the Saints want some of the action too hence the airfield being built
a 2 centre holiday choice with CPT and HLE makes a lot of sense plus the local RSA market too with tourists wanting to visit HLE
I never understood why JNB was the choice with comair and now the TUI holland deal from LTN via BJL also with a 737-800 is off as well
Virgin and SAA both gave up their direct nonstops to CPT from LHR ages ago
and now KLM LH Condor go to AMS and MUC FRA SR/Edelweiss to ZUR
BA has 3-4 flights a day sometimes in high season to both LHR and now LGW (3 to LHR and 1 to LGW)
TCK has LGW
