“The team made their travel arrangements with their own booking agent‚ who booked them on different flights due to late confirmation of the bookings and a subsequent limited capacity on the designated flight.”
Emirates’ ICC Cricket World Cup 2019 themed Airbus A380 pictured at O.R. Tambo International Airport on Tuesday May 28 2019.The blame game on who was at fault on Bafana Bafana leaving a day late for Dubai‚ where the national team will hold a pre-Africa Cup of Nations camp‚ has continued with a response from the airline‚ Emirates.
The SA Football Association have claimed that Bafana arrived at OR Tambo International Airport on Monday afternoon believing they would be bound for Dubai on one flight at 7pm‚ only to find some members of the squad would travel on a 10pm flight. Coach Stuart Baxter was not happy with this arrangement and made another booking for the squad to travel together on Tuesday morning at 10am‚ overnighting in Johannesburg for one more night.
Safa acting chief executive Russell Paul has said the association will investigate the matter and lodge an official complaint with Emirates.
