The Western Cape Province, a region known for its rich history and vibrant culture, is set to experience a significant increase in passenger numbers with the introduction and expansion of several regional and local airlines offering flights to Cape Town. This promising development is expected to boost the region’s tourism sector and strengthen its economic ties with neighboring countries.
The COVID19 pandemic has had a significant impact on many industries, including the aviation sector. South African air travel costs have experienced a significant increase since 2020, with domestic flight fares increasing by up to 54% compared to prepandemic prices. This increase in airfares has not only affected individual travelers but also businesses that rely on air travel.
