The Covid-19 lockdown has brought travel in South Africa to a screeching halt. Good news this week is that under lockdown level 3 South Africans are now allowed to travel for business purposes.
Bus operators Intercape, Eldo Coaches and APM have all recommenced their operations under lockdown level 3. FlySafair, Mango Airlines, Cemair and Airlink have also announced that they will start operating flights on limited routes from the 15th of June 2020. International airlines are still not allowed to operate flights in and out of South Africa.
The new regulations allow for OR Tambo International Airport, Cape Town International Airport, King Shaka International Airport and Lanseria International Airport to be opened. Travellers will need to provide the airlines or bus operators with the correct documentation needed for them to be authorised to travel for any of the reason listed below. Without the correct documentation clients will not be allowed to board. Click here for the official documentation.
