">SA Express is scheduled to resume its Johannesburg to Mthatha flights this week.
The airline initially suspended flights on 25 January after the South African Civil Aviation Authority (SACAA) downgraded the Mthatha Airport following negative audit findings.
“The SACAA has subsequently upgraded the airport to level four and restored all the airport’s operating rights for passenger air services with immediate effect,” said the airline in a statement.
SA Express, which offers connectivity between primary and secondary domestic destinations in South Africa and five other Southern African Development Community (SADC) countries, will operate a daily service between OR Tambo International (Ortia) and Mthatha Airports between Sunday and Friday.
The flights will depart Johannesburg (Ortia) at 15:00 arriving at Mthatha Airport 16:40 with the return flights departing at 17:10, landing at Ortia at 18:40.
