SAA signs code share agreement with Brazilian carrier
South African Airways (SAA) has signed a code share agreement with Brazilian carrier TAM Airlines.
SAA acting GM: Commercial Manoj Papa said the code share agreement would allow customers travelling to and from various parts of Africa, South America and countries in the East to use SAA’s Johannesburg hub as a convenient connection point to various parts of the world.
South Africa’s national carrier will place its designator code SA on flights operated by TAM from Sao Paulo to Rio de Janeiro, Porto Alegre, Curitiba, Brasília, Salvador, Florianopolis, Iguaçu Falls, Recife and Belo Horizonte.
TAM will place its designator code JJ on flights operated by SAA between Sao Paulo and Johannesburg, as well as to other cities within South Africa, including Cape Town, Durban, East London and Port Elizabeth. SAA currently has 11 flights a week between Johannesburg and Sao Paulo and an extensive schedule from Johannesburg to other South African cities.
“Alliances and partnerships of this nature form a crucial part of modern airline management, which is about providing convenient connection for customers to as many destinations as possible without necessarily using your own resources.
“Moreover, this code share provides a platform to tap into the potential that lies in both carriers’ respective markets in a manner that would significantly enhance benefits for passengers of both airlines,” said Papa.
Tickets went on sale on August 28 with travel set to start on September 2.
