As of the 29th of February 2020, the South African Airways (SAA) will be closing down the 11 routes which include Durban, East London, and Port Elizabeth.
The joint Business Rescue Practitioners (BRPs) of South African Airways (SAA), in a statement on Thursday, announced that:
SAA will continue to operate all international services between Johannesburg and Frankfurt, London Heathrow, New York, Perth, and Washington via Accra.
Regional services to be retained include from Johannesburg to Blantyre, Dar es Salaam, Harare, Kinshasa, Lagos, Lilongwe, Lusaka, Maputo, Mauritius, Nairobi, Victoria Falls, Livingston and Windhoek.
On 29th February 2020, SAA will close the following regional and international services from Johannesburg to Abidjan via Accra, Entebbe, Guangzhou, Hong Kong, Luanda, Munich, Ndola, and Sao Paulo.
On the domestic route network, SAA will continue to serve Cape Town on a reduced basis.
All other domestic destinations, including Durban, East London and Port Elizabeth, will cease to be operated by SAA on 29th February 2020. Domestic routes operated by Mango will not be affected by the changes.
All customers booked on any cancelled international and regional routes will receive a full refund. Customers booked on cancelled domestic flights will be re-accommodated on services operated by Mango.
SAA does not intend to make any further significant network changes. Passengers and travel agents can therefore feel confident about booking future travel with South African Airways.
The flight schedule for February remains unchanged. Please consult the website for further information.
The BRPs also mentioned that they are doing the best to limit the impact of job losses in SAA and its subsidiaries.
