South Africa's national carrier has announced a series of flight cancelations in effect from Friday to Monday due to industrial action by airline workers.
South African Airways Strike Sees Hundreds of Flights Canceled, Including New York, Washington, D.C.—How to Get RefundSouth African Airways, South Africa's national carrier, has canceled a number of flights, including international services from New York and Washington D.C., scheduled for Friday and Saturday . This follows strike action on Friday by two unions representing more than half of the carrier's workforce.
The latest industrial action will see around 200 flights canceled over two days, SAA spokesperson Tlali Tlali told Agence France-Presse. The airline confirmed all international flights departing from South Africa's O.R. Tambo International Airport are expected to resume operation from Sunday. Only 11 international flights will be operating on Friday including for New York, London, Munich, Frankfurt, Hong Kong and Perth as well as the African capitals of Accra , Windhoek , Harare , Lusaka and Maputo , the carrier announced in a post on its official Twitter account.
Where possible, all affected passengers will be booked onto flights operated by one of SAA's Star Alliance partners or rebooked onto another SAA flight for any flight on the same route for travel until October 31, 2020 at no extra cost, subject to availability in the same booking class, according to the airline's statement.
