'SAA's decision to delay launching more flights to India wise'

Cape Town: Thulani Nzima, chief executive of SA Travel Centre - the franchised chain of travel agencies wholly owned by South African Airways - said it was wise that the airline had postponed earlier plans to put on more flights to India, although tourism and trade between the two countries was growing, until it was certain the additional flights would be sustainable.
Nzima pointed out that Middle Eastern airlines offered a wider choice of destinations in India because they flew to a number of cities on the subcontinent compared with SAA's flights from Johannesburg to Mumbai.
He thought this was why Air India seemed to be hesitating to start a promised service to South Africa.
