Airline from Lanseria is Sunjet. Airqaurius will operate service with DC-9 aircraft leased ACMI from Millionair. Capricorn / Ibis no longer exist. Got nothing to do with EO/Ibis/Capricorn. Bussiness class service only. Millionair will supposedly have interest in airline.

Comair apparently now flying empty from CPT since KULULA started. Weird, same aircraft, crew and company. Seems like they serious about killing the small birds, may even plug some feathers from their own big bird. Nice paintjob.

Where do you guy's get your gen from.
Here's the inside track.
The flight's I did to CPT last night and back to JNB this morning averaged at a healthy 82% load factor with business class full both ways (That's where the real money is).
Checking the EASY figures for yesterday and today they had a healthy 94% load factor so there are the facts. Read them and weep!!!

Antman there was no bait to be taken.
I was merely clarifying for readers unfamiliar to the SA Aviation Scene that BA and BA Comair are two different airlines.
The way BA got into the picture is purely by virue of the fact that for a few years BA has attempted to put emphasis on the business class traveller and to their dismay have openly admitted recently that their strategy was wrong - i.e. not paying enough attention to the economy class traveller resulting in a loss in revenue. They are presently trying to right their wrongs.
As for the initial comment that caught my attention "after all that is where the real money is" - if this was the case why doesn't Comair make a single class "Busines Class" flight between Cape Town and Johannesburg?
The reason is clearly - as always - their directors have their heads screwed on correctly. Economy class passenger bring in good revenue and can sustain good yields.
