The largest German airline, Lufthansa, has resumed flights between Frankfurt Airport (FRA) in Frankfurt and Cape Town International Airport (CPT) in Cape Town. The first flight since the lifting of the international travel ban in South Africa landed in Cape Town on 08 October 2020. The airline will operate two weekly flights between Frankfurt and Cape Town on Mondays and Fridays with all flights departing in the evening and landing at their destination in the morning.
Lufthansa also resumed flights between Frankfurt and OR Tambo International Airport (JNB) in Johannesburg. The airline's flight on 01 October 2020 was the very first international flight to arrive in South Africa after ending a more than six-month ban on international travel in South Africa that was part of the country's restrictions to combat the spread of COVID-19. With the resumption of flights to Johannesburg and Cape Town, Lufthansa's flight schedule to South Africa is now fully operational.
Two other Lufthansa Group carriers, Swiss International Air Lines and Austrian Airlines, are also resuming their operations into South Africa. Swiss International Air Lines already resumed its service last week with a once weekly nonstop return service from Zürich Airport (ZRH) in Zürich to Johannesburg. Austrian Airlines recently announced their plans to resume flights between Vienna International Airport (VIE) in Vienna and Cape Town in mid-December 2020.
