Dear Travel Partner,

South African Airways (SAA), Africa’s most awarded airline, will launch new
nonstop service between Washington, D.C.-Dulles International Airport and
Accra’s Kotoka International Airport on August 1, 2015. With the
introduction of this new flight, SAA will be providing the only nonstop
flight between Washington D.C. and Accra, Ghana as well as the only Skytrax
4-Star rated airline service and world-class quality from North America to
the West Africa region. South African Airways also offers convenient
connections from over 50 markets in the U.S. and Canada through its airline
partners United Airlines, JetBlue Airways and Virgin America via
Washington, D.C.-Dulles.

South African Airways’ flights to Accra will be available four days a week
with continuing service to Johannesburg, South Africa, operating on Monday,
Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. SAA will reduce its current flights from
Washington D.C.-Dulles to Dakar, Senegal and onwards to Johannesburg, to
three days a week, operating on Wednesday, Friday and Sunday.

SAA flights will be operated on the state-of-the-art wide-body Airbus
A340-600 aircraft, featuring 42 full-flat 180° beds in Premium Business
Class and 275 seats in Economy Class, ergonomically designed with
adjustable headrests and industry-leading legroom of up to 34” for
long-haul travel. Customers traveling in both Premium Business Class and
Economy Class will enjoy an extensive menu of on-demand audio and visual
entertainment options, freshly prepared meals and complimentary bar service
featuring award-winning South African wines. This new route is part of
South African Airways’ continued expansion in North America, where the
airline is the only carrier to offer daily nonstop service from New York
-JFK International Airport to Johannesburg, South Africa.
