SAA to expand capacity ahead of holiday season
As South Africa’s peak holiday season approaches, SAA announced that it would bring into service an additional three A320 aircraft to support the high capacity demand.
SAA is keen to return to service and get its recent Takatso deal off the ground after a tumultuous few years of constant government bailouts.
‘SAA as the national flag carrier and an entity wholly owned by the people of South Africa has a responsibility to secure the sustainability of the airline industry in South Africa as an enabler of economic development and facilitator of affordable air travel to all users of air transportation in the country,’ said SAA Executive Chairman, Professor John Lamola.
