South African Airways' Johannesburg - New York goes via Dakar once more from late October.

With Summer on hand in the Southern Hemisphere, South African Airways (SA) has announced its daily outbound Johannesburg - New York JFK service will once more incorporate a stopover in Dakar, Senegal with effect from October 27. The inbound remains direct.

According to SAA, Johannesburg's Hot & High conditions (1'694m ASL) are exacerbated in Summer imposing greater payload restrictions on departing aircraft.
