As the country moves to level 3 lockdown from June 1, many airlines have decided to take to the skies to cater to the domestic travel market.
South African Airways said in a press statement last week that it is retaining its domestic schedule with effect from mid-June 2020. The airline will focus on ensuring operational readiness to resume flights once permissible. FlySafair will prepare to resume a reduced service from June 15 with ticket sales expected to open in the next week, the airline revealed in a press statement. This follows the airline’s announcement last week that it was unlikely to fly during level 3 unless the government offers support.
“We remain concerned about the feasibility of operating under the prescribed restrictions, but we cannot leave our staff unpaid any longer, and we feel obligated to do our part in reopening the South African economy,” he said.
