According to Breaking News Travel, South African Airways has announced that it is resuming its non-stop flights between Johannesburg, South Africa, and New York’s JFK International Airport. The non-stop flight will resume on 9 March.
While SAA’s New York-Johannesburg flight has continued to operate on a non-stop daily basis, the return flight has been temporarily making a one-hour refuelling stop in Dakar, Senegal, due in part to lower travel demand during the winter months. The non-stop flight will be timed to arrive in New York in the early morning, allowing customers to connect on flights to points throughout North America.
The non-stop flight schedule is as follows (all times are local):
Flight SA203 departs Johannesburg at 20h25, arrives at New York JFK at 06h40 the next day;
Flight SA204 departs New York JFK at 11h15, arrives in Johannesburg at 08h00 the next day.
