South African Airways (SAA) will launch its first direct service between Cape Town and Mauritius on Tuesday, 9 December 2025 marking a strategic expansion of its network and enhancing connectivity for travellers in the Western Cape.
The service will operate three times a week from Cape Town on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays. The out bound flight departs Cape Town at 09:25 AM, arriving in Mauritius at 4:30 PM, with a total flight duration of approximately five hours. The return leg departs Mauritius at 5:20 PM, arriving in Cape Town at 9:30 PM.
A temporary adjustment will be made between mid-January and mid-March 2026, when the service will operate twice weekly, in line with seasonal demand.
The launch of the new direct service between Cape Town and Mauritius underscores South African Airways continued commitment to connectivity, customer choice, and strategic growth.
“Connecting Cape Town with Mauritius is a fascinating achievement that our team has been aspiring towards for quite some time. The introduction of this route demonstrates SAA’s role in promoting leisure travel across the region and supports the broader tourism objectives for both South Africa and Mauritius. Passengers can look forward to experiencing SAA’s signature warm hospitality and world-class service on every flight,” says SAA Chief Executive Officer, Professor John Lamola.
“This convenience of the flight schedule was carefully developed through rigorous engagement with our South African tour operator partners to ensure it aligns with traveler preferences and peak holiday planning, fulfilling our mission to offer our customers greater flexibility and convenience,” adds Tebogo Tsimane, the Chief Commercial Officer.
