SAA has said that it would resume its international flights today after a crippling week that plunged it into a further financial crisis as cabin crew abandoned their flights, forcing the airline to cancel more than 100 local and international flights.
SAA said on Friday that its domestic and regional flights would however remain grounded after 3 000 workers, mostly cabin crew members, went on strike just days after the airline said it wanted to cut its overhead count by nearly a thousand in order to save R700 million.
“This operational decision is aimed at minimising the impact of disruptions for the airline’s customers,” spokesperson Tlali Tlali said.
