Kulula is set to resume flights on the 1st of December 2020

Kulula is set to join Safair in offering domestic flights during the festive period, but SAA is yet to decide when its flights will resume.

This comes right after SAA and the owner of Kulula, Comair secured funding in their respective business rescue progressions. Comair has reopened bookings for all flights ahead of 1 December – when Kulula will resume operations.

“We are excited to be returning to the skies and with competition being restored in the domestic market, the flying public can once again expect to achieve low airfares,” said Glenn Orsmond of the Comair Rescue Consortium. “We are proud to continue our Kulula heritage of offering affordable airfares after introducing low cost flying in South Africa close to twenty years ago.”

Orsmond said that the re-introduction of Kulula flights domestically is the first phase of Comair’s plans to build up to full operations over the coming months. He also noted that British Airways domestic and regional flights will re-open soon – as will Kulula flights from Lanseria.

Comair will begin with a fleet of fifteen aircraft across Kulula and British Airways, and will gradually increase the number of aircraft in operation in the coming months. “This is an important moment for Comair, for all the employees who have been so patient and supportive through the business rescue process, for our customers, the flying public and the country,” said Orsmond.

“A strong, competitive airline sector benefits everyone and we’re looking forward to welcoming our first customers on board and gradually restoring our schedule and network.” Comair said that its planes will have the following measures in place to ensure that its cabins are safe from COVID-19.
