South African Airways & Mango codeshare between Cape Town and Durban

South African Airways has entered into a codeshare arrangement with Mango on the coastal routes between Cape Town and Durban.  The opportunity to partner with SAA’s low cost carrier Mango will allow greater flexibility and continuity of SAA’s presence on this route.

The SAA value proposition on this route remains intact and the only variation will be the use of Mango’s aircraft on this route.  In addition, the SAA Voyager Program and all other exciting SAA value added benefits will not be compromised or diminished in any way on this route.
