South African Airways Flight

South African Airways

South African Airways has been a trusted passenger and cargo airline in South Africa for decades. It is the official flag-carrier for the country that stepped into the global arena for world-class carriers in 1934 when it took over from Union Airlines with a few modest ten-seater Junkers.

The history of SAA has not been without challenges. During apartheid, sanctions imposed by African countries prevented SAA aircraft from using their airports as stop-overs, so SAA (then known as “Suid-Afrikaanse Lugdiens” i.e. South African Air Service in the Afrikaans language) was forced to invest in aircraft that allowed them to bypass the continent altogether.

In 1997, three years after the dawn of democracy and liberation from the apartheid regime, SAA rebranded itself with a new name. Management positions have been shuffled over the years, but the current CEO is Mr Vuyani Jarana and the interim financial officer is Mr Robert Head. The parent company of this airline was Transnet until 2006.

SAA continues to pride itself as one of the leading airlines in South Africa, offering world-class service for local and international passengers. South African Airways has created a popular low-cost airline called Mango (flymango) that remains one of the leading airlines for cheap local flights in South Africa.

South African Airways is a member of Star Alliance. Star Alliance is one of the world’s biggest airline alliances, consisting of 27 member airlines. Star Alliance is based in Germany and serves 192 countries, operating in more than 1000 airports.
