SAA also confirmed that the planned Johannesburg - Gqeberha (Port Elizabeth) schedule, which was to commence on Monday, 12th December 2022 will now be delayed to the new year. The deferral of the restart of this route is due to the regulatory approval process that has taken much longer than anticipated.

SAA Chief Commercial Officer, Tebogo Tsimane says, “Whilst the airline is disappointed that we could not achieve flying the Ggeberha route in time to meet the December peak season demand, the restart of this route remains a critical part of SAA’s network growth plan and SAA will continue to work to achieve this.”
