Departing from FAPE Chief Dawid Stuurman International Airport, the Airbus A320 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took approximately 4 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. Upon reaching the runway, the aircraft initiated its departure roll on runway 26, utilizing 1,147 meters, or 58% of the runway, to achieve liftoff at a speed of 144 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 14°C, with a gentle wind of 3 knots from a direction of 285°, resulting in a negligible crosswind and headwind component.

As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb approximately 1 mile southwest of FAPE, targeting an altitude of 10,974 meters above sea level. The climb phase was completed in 16 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 121 nautical miles and increased its altitude by 10,573.9 meters. Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted 14 minutes and covered a similar distance of 121 nautical miles. The cruise phase was initiated approximately 5 miles east of Knysna, marking a significant milestone in the flight. As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its enroute descent approximately 10 miles east of FASX Hendrik Swellengrebel Airport, targeting a final altitude of 429 meters above sea level. The descent phase was completed in 20 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 107 nautical miles and decreased its altitude by 10,526.4 meters.

Upon reaching the final approach phase, the aircraft began its descent from an altitude of 10,956 meters above sea level, targeting a runway touchdown on runway 01 at FACT Cape Town International Airport. The aircraft maintained a heading of 345.0° and descended to an altitude of 381.6 meters above ground level, approximately 4 nautical miles from the runway threshold. The landing was executed with a threshold speed of 128 knots, a touchdown speed of 123 knots, and a touchdown rate of -0.9 meters per second. The aircraft touched down on the runway at a distance of 348 meters, with a runway touchdown position that was slightly misaligned by 3.5 meters from the centerline. The total landing distance was 1,293 meters, or 40% of the runway length. Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took approximately 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 355 nautical miles, and the aircraft utilized 2,518 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
