[UPDATE 7 APRIL] Air Botswana (BP) is to drop its 4x weekly Cape Town - Maun route effective 31 March, just 10 months after its début. The route originally launched with daily flights back in June 2012 and predominantly catered for the leisure market.
The route currently operates with an Avro RJ85.
"We will now look to develop our Cape Town – Gaborone route, which is already performing well and possibly attracts a better leisure/business mix,” said Airport Services Manager: Johannesburg, Nada Phoosolo.
