The extra flights are part of its seasonal route expansion.
The flights have been added to offer customers greater flexibility, convenience, and choice during the busiest travel periods of the year, when South Africa and Brazil traditionally see increased tourism flows.
SAA will offer two more weekly services between Johannesburg and Sao Paulo.
The airline currently offers two rotations per week on this route.
Flights will increase to four per week. Additional frequencies will operate on Wednesdays and Sundays.
The added frequencies will commence on 10 December and will terminate in mid February 2026.
“South African Airways is strengthening its network with more flights, more frequencies, and more opportunities to connect Africa to the world. We are aiming higher to serve our customers better this festive season,” said Tebogo Tsimane, SAA’s Chief Commercial Officer.
These flights will be operated with a widebody aircraft.
AeroRoutes reports that South African Airways has leased an Airbus A330-330 aircraft from Hi-Fly, for a period of 5 months. Thus, enabling this expansion to Brazil.
