FlySafair will reintroduce scheduled flights between Johannesburg’s Lanseria International Airport and George Airport in the Western Cape.
Starting 14 March 2025, FlySafair will begin to fly between Lanseria and George – on the Garden Route.
FLYSAFAIR LANSERIA GEORGE FLIGHTS
FA 356 Departs Lanseria at 10.10, and arrives in George at 12.20.
FA 357 Departs George at 12.55, and arrives at Lanseria at 14.55.
The airline will operate a daily rotation on this route.
Flights will be operated with a Boeing 737 aircraft.
WHY GEORGE?
FlySafair’s decision to reintroduce George to its Lanseria flight schedule is quite an interesting one.
The airline looks to be tapping into the growing number of passengers now travelling between Johannesburg and George.
George certainly seems to have the potential for more scheduled flight services to Johannesburg—and more specifically, to Lanseria Airport.
Lanseria’s proximity to Johannesburg’s northern suburbs and Sandton’s central business district make this airport a convenient one for passengers flying in from George to Johannesburg – for work or to visit family and friends.
FlySafair also operates scheduled flights between Johannesburg’s primary airport hub – O.R. Tambo International Airport – and George.

WESTERN CAPE SEMIGRATION
Semigration trends have led to growing numbers of people leaving Johannesburg for locations in the Western Cape, including George.
Remote work opportunities have also made living outside of major centres more attractive and ever more possible.
FlySafair also operates flights to and from Cape Town and Durban from the privately owned Lanseria International Airport.
FLYSAFAIR LANSERIA FLIGHTS BOOST GEORGE TOURISM
These flights are also set to facilitate tourism to George and surrounding areas.
In fact, the Garden Route, located on South Africa’s eastern coastline is quite spectacular.
These flights make it easier to explore the beaches, forests, and seaside towns located along the Garden Route, as well as the stunning Outeniqua Mountains.
