Western Cape Finance and Economic Opportunities Minister David Maynier says he will continue to apply the necessary pressure to secure a triangular route for US airline Delta Air Lines between Atlanta, Georgia, in the US, and Johannesburg and Cape Town. Delta had applied to operate a triangular route between Atlanta, Johannesburg and Cape Town in May 2021. The application has yet to be processed, despite "being urgent precisely because tourism is a significant contributor to job creation and economic growth in the Western Cape," Maynier points out.
