Yes but a second stop in JNB would make the entire trip a lot longer than the current two step flights. SN would then probably need a second plane for the same route as it would take more than 24 hours to do the flight. -> A lot of costs, and all that just for one destination. Instead they can now fill their plane with another destination which is nearby FIH and can make money as well. That's probably the reason behind.sn26567 wrote: I am not sure whether such a routing would still be allowed now, but SN BA should give it some consideration. After all, all SN BA FIH flights now make a stop elsewhere in Africa.
