South African Airways to resume flights in September

South African Airways (SAA) will restart the operation of flights on September 23. Over15 months after it was grounded in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic, the SAA said in a statement.

South African Airway’s CEO Thomas Kgokolo said, "After months of diligent work, we are delighted that SAA is resuming service and we look forward to welcoming onboard our loyal passengers and flying the South African flag, and w continue to be a safe carrier and adhering to Covid-19 protocols."

Ngokolo added that the Airways will start by flying from Johannesburg to Cape Town, Accra (Ghana), Kinshasa (Democratic Republic of Congo), Harare (Zimbabwe), Lusaka (Zambia) and Maputo (Mozambique). They will add destinations in response to market conditions.

"There is a profound feeling of enthusiasm within Team SAA as we prepare for takeoff, with one common purpose -- to rebuild and sustain a profitable airline that once again takes a leadership role among local, continental, and international airlines. "As we are now poised for takeoff, we see this as a major milestone for SAA and the country," Kgokolo said. South African Airways faced financial problems despite numerous government bailouts and resorted to a business rescue last year.
