I assume they think they can. I doubt we can make money blocking 90 seats in the summer but looks like in the winter they will be blocking only 30 to 50. Might be a placeholder to keep the route until we get a more capable version of the A350. We won’t however see a nonstop from BOM!

Regardless of equipment type, I doubt they’ll be filling these flights for a while.

I wonder if it would be doable to switch destinations to JFK? JNB-JFK is 500mi shorter than ATL.

Now when you say no nonstop to BOM is that because the plane can’t do it or because India was not making money?

Apartheid was bad. “Reverse Apartheid” has also been bad and led to massive corruption. Looting and rioting, attributed to 33% unemployment and record inequality, has led to 40,000+ businesses vandalized and 300+ killed in the last week.
