Efforts to restore direct international air access from Europe to Durban are in the spotlight ahead of the opening of Club Med South Africa Beach Safari in July.
Thulisile Galelekile , Durban Direct Marketing Sub-Committee Chair, which works to support airlines in launching direct air services into Durbans King Shaka International Airport, told Tourism Update that it continued to make steady and strategic progress.
A key focus area at present is the development of a comprehensive and data-driven business case to attract Air France to the province. This process is being strengthened through close collaboration with Club Med, which is providing forward-looking booking data, market intelligence and demand indicators to support and enhance the case being presented to the airline, Galelekile said.
