This is the third time the airline has announced the cancellation of flights since being placed under business rescue, and comes after the practitioners told employees that they intend to expedite retrenchments at the airline. On February 29, SAA will close services from Johannesburg to Abidjan via Accra, Entebbe, Guangzhou, Hong Kong, Luanda, Munich, Ndola, and São Paulo, the business rescue practitioners said.
SAA will continue to operate all international services between Johannesburg and Frankfurt, London Heathrow, New York, Perth and Washington via Accra.
