British Airways takes millions to South Africa

British Airways is preparing to take more than 2.5 million customers to South Africa during the forthcoming World Cup 2010.

The airline operates seven flights per week to Cape Town and 19 flights to Johannesburg, as well as excellent connections to domestic and regional locations provided by its branded franchise carrier, Comair. As official airline of the England 2018 World Cup Bid, British Airways is helping football fans get into the spirit of the World Cup. During June and July special on-board announcements will be made on South Africa flights to invite customers to back the England 2018 Bid.

Ashley Cowen, British Airways’ area regional manager, Asia Pacific and Africa, said: “South Africa is one of our most popular destinations, even more so this summer. We are thrilled to be welcoming so many customers to the Rainbow Nation in the coming weeks.”
