SAA cancels flights in light of strike threat, Comair makes a plan | IOL Business Report

CAPE TOWN – South African Airways announced that it has cancelled nearly all its domestic, regional and international flights scheduled for Friday and Saturday in a move aimed at minimising the impact of disruptions for its customers.

This after an announcement by the South African Cabin Crew Association and the National Union of Metalworkers of South Africa that their members would embark on industrial action from Friday morning. This is notwithstanding SAA’s repeated overtures to the unions to acknowledge the severity of the current situation facing the airline.

“Unless alternative arrangements are in place, customers are requested not to go to their departure airports during the disruption as SAA will be unable to provide any assistance. Information on the status of our flights will be regularly updated on our website,” said Tlali.
