Maidenair is planning to fly between SA and Ireland
Zulu Air is planning cargo flights to Europe with converted ex SAA B747SPs
Island Air is planning ACMI services with an ex SAA B747SP
And just read today on Justplanes that Civair is planning to launch Services from Durban (2 weekly) and Capetown (3 weekly) to Stansted.It claims these will be "low cost"
That's alot of new services! I know that there currently is excess demand between SA and UK but surely competition between SA and UK is intense. If these plans come to fruition, the following airlines will be operating scheduled services betwen SA and the UK :
BA
SAA
Virgin Atlantic
Nationwide
AV8 (don't know if they still operate though)
