The financial capital of South Africa is also the main air gateway to the country and therefore draws airlines serving both the leisure and business markets, giving business travellers great flexibility in their choice of services. British Airways and South African Airways offer double daily services from London Heathrow, with Virgin Atlantic Airways operating daily flights. Air France offers good UK regional connections via Paris Charles de Gaulle through services out of Aberdeen, Bristol, Birmingham, Edinburgh, Manchester, Newcastle and Southampton. From London Gatwick, the single choice is Nationwide Air, which offers four flights a week. Another option is flying Air Namibia via Windhoek, a service which departs Gatwick three days a week. Via the Middle East, connections are available through the respective hubs of Emirates, Etihad Airways and Qatar Airways.
