Eswatini Air announced its planned operating schedule, fare, and notice of reservations systems going live. This marks and brings to an end the long wait for the commencement of Eswatini Air flights.
Recognizing that this is a brand-new operation, the airline is requiring caution to ensure a smooth entry into the market.
Therefore, Eswatini Air has deemed it proper to introduce service in four phases:
Phase I will be the launch at King Mswati III International Airport (SHO) in Johannesburg (JNB) with flights operating twice daily starting March 26, 2023.
Phase II will commence on April 14, 20213, and will add four flights per week on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays.
Phase III will add Harare (HRE) to the schedule starting April 14, 2023, with four more flights per week on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays,
Phase IV will be the final launch phase and will add Cape Town to the route network beginning June 2, 2023. There will be three flights per week on Wednesdays, Fridays, and Sundays.
Eswatini Air is an Eswatini-based airline and the flag carrier for the nation. Originally planning to commence operations in June 2022, the airline secured an AOC in December 2022 after some delays.
