South African Airways has resumed its full flight schedule this past weekend following the resolution of an ongoing industrial dispute between SAA and the coalition between the National Union of Metalworkers of South Africa (NUMSA) and the South African Airways Cabin Crew Association (SACCA) unions.
Philip Saunders, SAA’s chief commercial officer, commented: “We are delighted to be able to announce a resumption in normal schedules. On behalf of SAA, I would like to express our deep regret at the inconvenience caused to our loyal customers during this industrial dispute.
"We will continue to assist those passengers, that have still not been able to travel, to reach their intended destination as soon as possible.
“At the same time, I would like to express our commitment to return to the skies with renewed passion and energy to serve all our customers. We also thank our airline partners, Mango, Airlink and SA Express, for assisting us during this difficult period.
