To date, it is a 3-day trip by boat from Cape Town to St Helena.

Does anyone know the prospective airport code? It would make a healthy side trip on a RTW (5 hrs+ each way) assuming that it counts as part of Africa in the same way that Mauritius does.
The airport is now open (code is HLE), but no BA/Comair flights scheduled
SA has commenced a once weekly service from JNB, using an Embraer 190 with a technical stop in Windhoek
