South African Express (SAX) is turning Durban's King Shaka International Airport into a regional hub as the airline has been given the green light for flights to Mozambique, Namibia and Botswana, according to a report carried by Club of Mozambique.

Spokesperson for SAX, Dayle Littlefield, told sister publication Travel News Weekly (TNW) the airline has been granted the licenses to operate Durban-Maputo, Durban-Gaborone and Durban-Windhoek. But no plans had yet been made for these services to start, she added.

This followed SAX's already operating Durban-Harare service.
