Cash-strapped South African Airways canceled some domestic and international flights after it failed to secure emergency funding from the government
JOHANNESBURG - South African Airways has canceled more than 20 domestic flights between its Johannesburg hub and Cape Town and Durban this week, and 10 international flights to and from Munich, the airline said on Tuesday, as it fights for its survival.
“These cancellations represent a responsible strategy to conserve cash,” SAA said in a statement, adding it was working to accommodate affected customers on other flights. SAA’s statement showed cancellations on the domestic and Munich routes started on Monday and lasted until Friday. On Sunday, the public enterprises ministry said it was still talking with the National Treasury to raise funds for SAA.
