South Africa's booming tourism tempts Air France

More flights to South Africa could be added by Air France, while Fly Emirates is also due to increase the number of services it runs to the country.


Air France may be considering recommencing flights to Cape Town for the first time in ten years after last year's boom in tourism, a South African news site has claimed.

The Independent Online says that the move is being considered by Air France commercial director in southern Africa, Ralf Karsenbarg.

Last year's Football World Cup proved to be a major boon to South African tourist numbers, with minister of tourism Marthinus van Schalkwyk announcing earlier this month that visitor numbers were up 15.1 per cent in 2010.

"We are delighted with these strong growth figures, particularly as it comes so soon after a global economic recession," he said.
