SAA to resume some regional flights despite strike - SABC News - Breaking news, special reports, world, business, sport coverage of all South African current events. Africa's news leader.

State-owned SAA has cancelled hundreds of flights since the strike began on Friday, saying the stoppage is costing R50 million per day and jeopardizing talks with lenders.

The airline said it would re-book passengers on regional routes that remained affected, while domestic passengers would continue to be transferred to sister airlines Mango and SA Airlink. It added international flights were operating on schedule. In the past decade, South Africa’s troubled flagship carrier has lost its place as the continent’s biggest airline while taxpayers bailed it out to the tune of more than R30 billion since 2012.

Tlali said negotiations on wages, job cuts and other labour issues were ongoing. Zazi Nsibanyoni-Aniyam, president of the South African Cabin Crew Association union also said that talks were ongoing. SACCA together with the National Union of Metal Workers South Africa, called for the strike on Friday.
