JOHANNESBURG - From 9 December, Comair plans to begin serving all the domestic British Airways routes it previously operated. Regional services will be reintroduced as it ramps up to full operations over the next few months. The airline will initially operate a fleet of 15 aircraft across both brands.

"With reservations for the British Airways flights open we are now able to offer bookings on a considerably expanded schedule. As well as giving customers the choice of booking on either of our airline brands and a greater range of competitive fares, they now also have the option of booking in business class," says Glenn Orsmond, representing the Comair Rescue Consortium.

The reintroduction of British Airways (operated by Comair) flights will also see the reopening of the popular, award-winning SLOW lounges. Initially the domestic lounges at King Shaka International, Cape Town International and OR Tambo International will open. The other lounges will reopen as the flight schedule expands.

Comair introduced the British Airways brand to domestic and regional routes in South and Southern Africa in 1996 when it signed a franchise agreement with the UK’s largest carrier. It has been British Airways’ most successful franchise.

"British Airways’ ongoing support is a huge vote of confidence in the future of Comair," says Orsmond. Discovery Vitality has also resumed its agreement with kulula.com as has FNB’s eBucks rewards programme arrangement with Comair.

Orsmond says that Comair will initially operate a fleet of fifteen aircraft across both airline brands - British Airways and Kulula - gradually increasing as the remainder of the fleet returns to service over the next few months.
