While QF are expanding JNB services from SYD, they have no plans to do so from PER at this stage. I suppose the currently don't use their own aircraft on that route anyway - so if SA increase their services I'm sure QF would codeshare on those.

No more South African flights: Qantas

* Chalpat Sonti
* June 30, 2008

Qantas says it has no plans to increase flights between Perth and Johannesburg, despite an agreement allowing for them to be doubled to cope with demand on the route.

Federal Transport Minister Anthony Albanese said the Australia-South Africa aviation market had been growing an average of 7.3 per cent a year since 2004, and new arrangements agreed between the two countries would help ease capacity constraints.

The number of weekly frequencies available for services to Johannesburg, Cape Town and Durban would immediately double from five to ten. Four more weekly services will become available from October next year, and triple daily services will be possible from October 2010.

South African Airways and Qantas at present operate a five-times-a-week codeshare return service between Perth and Johannesburg. A Qantas spokesman said the airline would apply for an additional Sydney-Johannesburg service, scheduled to start in April next year, but had no plans to increase the frequency of flights from Perth, home to a large expatriate South African population.

Meanwhile, Mr Albanese said another agreement with Kenya opened the way into East Africa. Airlines will be able to operate daily services between both countries.

The region is home to several mining prospects being developed by WA companies.

Well the A342 will soon become an A346 for a few months on the PER-JNB.

Plus SA do 5 x weekly, could easily (aircraft allowing) be bumped up to 7 weekly. Dont think Qantas would be against it (they are One World alliance members after all)

The old country has lost its shape. Dad went back a few months ago and was really dissapointed with the place. One of our Jewish mates just came back and said it has gone to the s**t as well.

The pendulum has swung too far in the other direction these days, now its bad to be white instead of black. Glad I don't have any family reunions coming up soon I aint keen on going back anytime soon after hearing those stories.

Anybody else been there lately and have a better opinion?

Qantas have submitted the application already to increase to 6 x weekly from DEC08 and then daily from APR 09. So the daily service will be operating sooner than expected. However it was remarked that this application and further capacity could be for Qantas and/or it subsidiary. So JNB down the line in the next few years could be operated by JQ with its 787's say from MEL or BNE. yields are too good from SYD I imagine with J and F class.
