UNITED revealed its plans to expand service by offering three nonstop flights per week, year-round, between New York and Newark and the Cape Town International Airport, reports the American Journal of Transportation.
The new schedule starts on June 5 and means that over 85 US cities will be conveniently connected to one of the 25 cities in the world.
united is the only airline to offer nonstop flights between the US and Cape Town and offers more flights to South Africa than any other North American carrier.
'By offering flights to Cape Town year-round, we're making it even easier for our customers to visit one of the world's best destinations,' said United vice president Patrick Quayle.
'United's direct flights from New York/Newark cut the usual travel time to Cape Town by more than five hours, giving visitors extra time to enjoy the beauty and majesty of South Africa.'
According to Expedia's 2022 Travel Trends Report, 68 per cent of Americans are planning to go big on their next trip, and nearly a third plan to visit a bucket-list destination this year.
Said Wesgro CEO Wrenelle Stander: 'This announcement provides much-needed relief to the tourism and hospitality sector in the Western Cape and will support economic recovery in the province,'
'We welcome the news of this expansion and thank United Airlines for their commitment to serving this world-class tourism destination.'
Cape Town is South Africa's second-largest city and a melting pot of creativity and cuisine, ranking among the most beautiful in the world.
