South African airline adds flights for India's IPL

South African airline SAA is adding flights and using larger planes to cope with the number of fans coming from India for the final stages of the Indian Premier League tournament this weekend.
The Twenty20 event, which was moved to South Africa for security reasons in April, finishes with the semifinals on Friday and Saturday in Pretoria and Johannesburg, and the final on Sunday in Johannesburg.
SAA said in a statement that it was adding a Johannesburg-Mumbai flight on Friday and another on Monday because of an increase in demand for seats from IPL fans. SAA normally has four Johannesburg-Mumbai flights a week.
The airline was also planning to use a larger plane on the route on Thursday and Sunday.
