Covid-19: Comair temporarily suspends all Kulula and British Airways flights in South Africa!

South African airline Comair, which operates the low-cost kulula brand and a local franchise of British Airways, has announced the temporary suspension of services in South Africa. The airline will cancel all flights from 05 July 2021 and aims to recommence flights from 30 July 2021, subject to regulations being eased, and Covid-19 infection rates, particularly in Gauteng, being contained. According to Comair, the impact of the new regulations in South Africa and especially the the prohibition of all non-essential travel in and out of Gauteng has led to the decision to temporarily suspend services.
The airline said kulula customers who had a valid ticket booked until 29 July 2021 will be able use their ticket within 12 months from first date of travel without any penalty. British Airways' "Book with Confidence" policy also applies to customers holding a valid ticket for flights with British Airways operated by Comair. We'll keep you posted!
