SAA cancels daily Mozambique flights, adjusts other schedules
Passengers who hold tickets to travel will be accommodated on Mozambique Airlines.
South African Airways (SAA) has announced that it will remove daily return flights from Maputo, Mozambique, from its schedule at the beginning of December.
SAA’s interim executive for commercial, Simon Newton-Smith clarified that the decision was taken as a result of a lack of uptake on the route.
“When SAA resumed operations at the end of September, we committed to constantly monitor passenger volumes and revenue on all routes. Demand on this service has not met expectations and, for the time being, this change is in line with our strategy of being a transparent management and fiscally responsible,” Newton-Smith said.
The airline said the customers who used travel agents to book flights should contact them directly. Tickets that were bought online, or through the SAA call centre, can be reconciled by contacting the SAA Trade Support via e-mail at Tradesupport1@flysaa.com.
SAA will also not be operating its return flights to Accra in Ghana on Christmas and New Year’s Day.
Flights to Kinshasa in the Democratic Republic of Congo will not be operational on Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve.
The airline said flights to Lusaka, Zambia will operate for five days a week from December 1, instead of seven days a week.
