alanb Posted January 19, 2010 Report Share Posted January 19, 2010 I am looking to book some flights to SA and V Australia is still offering good deals.However, there is the disclaimer "V Australia flights Australia to Johannesburg are subject to regulatory approval". I cannot find anything on the web saying this has been approved. Does anyone know what the current status.ThanksAlan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elleneo Posted January 19, 2010 Report Share Posted January 19, 2010 Well..my mom has booked a flight of theirs through a travel agent..so i dont see how thats an issue...isnt it a disclaimer on all flights and airlines? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enrica Posted January 19, 2010 Report Share Posted January 19, 2010 HiV Australia has been selling tickets , and subject to regulatory approval requires that they are approved by various bodies ie IATA, that their landing rights have been approved etc . Qantas and SAA can file objections to this and it is possible they V Australia can be denied landing rights and landing and slot times that are suitable to V Australia.It is highly unlikely that they will be denied approval at this stage. The travel industry has been selling seats , as most of V Australias slots have been approved, and we have not heard any rumours regarding and court issue with Qantas and SAA regarding this approval.And no Elleno, it is not a disclaimer on all airlines.

I asked when booking what the issue was with the disclaimer and was assured that it should go ahead. The prices since I bought have increased a lot but still better than the competition. The disclaimer seems to be gone from the website now so i presume all is good now The only info I could find was below and it seems they were granted rights to land because of the lack of competition on that route but it is almost 2 years oldhttp://www.etravelblackboard.com/showartic...30&id=81161 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordy Posted February 28, 2010 Report Share Posted February 28, 2010 And for those hoping for V Aus to fly from Perth dont hold your breath. I received the following email recently:Thank you for your email.At this stage we are not flying direct from Perth to Johannesburg. I have not heard anything indicating this will start in the near future so for now we are only flying direct out of Melbourne.Kind Regards The V Australia Team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
