We welcome Virgin Atlantic's new daily flight from London to Cape Town

12 February 2020

We welcome the announcement by Virgin Atlantic of the new route between London Heathrow and Cape Town International Airport so that more people can experience the best that Cape Town and the Western Cape have to offer.

Not only is the United Kingdom the Western Cape’s biggest source of foreign direct investment, but it is also its main tourist market and its second biggest export destination.

Once again Air Access has proved that by expanding air connectivity we can expand opportunity for people, and expanding opportunity for people can give hope to people by creating jobs in the Western Cape.
