South African Airways is reinstating daily services between Johannesburg and Dar es Salaam from 20 January using Airbus A320s. It will be the third carrier on the route after Airlink and Air Tanzania which operate eight and five times weekly, respectively. SAA last operated flights to Dar es Salaam in March 2020. The move follows a recent expansion of the carrier’s network, including increased frequencies to Perth, Harare, Lusaka, Lagos, Accra, and Kinshasa, plus a new Lubumbashi route.

Qatar Airways has announced the resumption of services between Doha and Malta starting 2 July 2025. The carrier says it will operate the route four times per week. This route expansion brings Qatar Airways' European destination count to nearly 50, while connecting Malta to the airline's broader network of over 170 destinations. The service particularly aims to facilitate connections between Malta and Asia-Pacific regions, including Australia, where Qatar Airways currently operates 42 weekly flights. The route resumption comes as Qatar Airways awaits regulatory approval for its partnership with Virgin Australia.

Delta Air Lines has appointed former Walmart International president and chief executive Judith McKenna to its board, effective 7 February. McKenna in January 2024 retired from Walmart International. As chief executive of that unit, she was responsible for all aspects of Walmart's business outside the USA, Delta says. She served Walmart for 27 years in senior roles in the USA and internationally, eventually rising in 2018 to Walmart International president and chief executive. "Judith's deep leadership and global management experience, as well as her relentless passion for care for customers and employees throughout organisations, will contribute meaningfully to Delta's board," states non-executive board chair David Taylor.
