Air Canada to Johannesburg?
G'day
When I was in Canada last year I started hearing rumours of a Toronto - Jo'burg route being started. Using A340-500 machines.
Nothing has happened on this front yet. Another rumour has it that the A/C didn't have the range that was promised by Airbus. They would have had to operate with some empty seats.
Any truth in these rumours?
Can anyone maybe add more info?
Much obliged.

Could look at one stop via LOS but if they uplift will need serious immigration checks!
Alternatively could stop at TFS for bucket and spade traffic. Means two reasonably evenly spaced sectors for one thing, could use 767s instead of long haulers.
Personally I'd prefer CPT
GC dists:
YYZ-JNB 13364km
YYZ-LOS-JNB 8942/4511/13454
YYZ-TFS-JNB 5807/7677/13484
