South African Airways (SAA) has announced it will launch a new route between Johannesburg and Buenos Aires next year.

The new twice-weekly flights will begin on April 8 and will be serviced with an Airbus A340–200; the new route will complement SAA’s existing daily South American service to São Paulo.

“We are positive that by adding more seats in the market we will meet the strong demand from both continents wishing to benefit from our shorter flying times and superior service via the South Atlantic route,” SAA chief executive Khaya Ngqula said.
