Fast jet announced Victoria Falls to Johannesburg route
Fastjet has announced service to Victoria Falls from Johannesburg to start at the end of this month in response to passenger demand.
The carrier’s Airbus A319, seating up to 156 passengers, will serve the route.
The route will operate twice a week, on Fridays and Sundays.
“Launching this route between Victoria Falls and Johannesburg makes it more affordable for South Africans to visit the area’s attractions. Prior to announcing these flights to Victoria Falls, Fastjet discussed with South African and Zimbabwean tour operators in order to deliver suitable flight components to include in packaged tour offerings,” said Richard Bodin, Fastjet’s Chief Commercial Officer.
The carrier expects that many passengers using the route will be first time travellers to Victoria Falls, having not been able to afford the trip before.
Research shows that 40% of its passengers on all routes were first time flyers able to afford air travel for the first time, due to Fastjet’s low fares.
