Air Europa will launch scheduled flights between Madrid and Johannesburg this year.
The connection will be the carrier’s first to Southern Africa. Flights will operate three times weekly starting June 24.
Air Europa will operate the route with a Boeing 787 Dreamliner. Flights will depart Madrid on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, arriving in Johannesburg the following morning.
The return flights will depart Johannesburg on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays. Air Europa’s service will not be the first linking Spain and South Africa.
Spain’s national carrier, Iberia, previously operated the Madrid-Johannesburg route but suspended it in 2019, citing low profitability.
