South African Airways cancel certain flights

JOHANNESBURG, 23 JANUARY 2020 - Flight Centre Travel Group notes South African Airways’ cancellation of certain domestic and international flights.

Our customers remain our top priority and we have been working to advise, assist and re-accommodate any affected passengers where possible.

The Group is currently monitoring the situation, while awaiting official updates from SAA with regards to flight changes.

We urge affected customers to contact their Flight Centre Travel Expert for details and assistance.

In November 2019, Flight Centre Travel Group took the decision to no longer sell South African Airways. This followed confirmation by our preferred Travel Insurance Provider and underwriters that they were no longer willing to cover SAA under their Travel Supplier Insolvency benefit due to doubts concerning the long-term viability of the airline.

We will continue to advise our customers on the situation as more details arise.
