Comair has announced that it will be suspending its Johannesburg Lanseria to Maputo flights from 17 Jan, as they're commercially unviable (1time came to the same conclusion last year).

How wild is this? Check out these photos of Jeb Corliss base-jumping off Table Mountain on Wednesday, in his flying wingsuit.

Wondering what's happened to Santaco Airline? The latest is that they are "doing everything we can to launch by Easter".

Great news for China-lovers and SAA Voyager members - SAA Voyager is offering double miles for flights from Johannesburg to Beijing up to the 30th April 2012, as well as a 25% discount on the Miles required to issue an award between Johannesburg and Beijing up to 30 April 2012.

If that's not enough to get you on a fast plane to China, then SAA Voyager members who fly to Beijing before 30 April 2012 stand a chance to win a 2 night stay at the luxurious Sabi Sabi Private Game Reserve, including Economy class flights from Johannesburg to Kruger Mpumalanga International - South Africa.
