South African Airways Increases Capacity, To Replace A340 Fleet
FlySAA boosts capacity with additional aircraft.
South African Airways (SA) announced it is increasing capacity to support high demand over the 2022 peak holiday season.
The airline is introducing an additional three (3) A320 aircraft – bringing its A320 fleet total to 5.
Two of SAA’s busiest routes, including the Harare – Johannesburg now operated by the larger A330 aircraft on three of its seven-day weekly frequencies.
“SAA is replacing its A340-300 with a similar capacity aircraft and will exit the A319 fleet in 2023 […] We are encouraged that our strategy to cautiously re-enter markets abandoned due to the Covid pandemic has served us very well during the past twelve months, and we will continue to follow that cautious risk-adjusted trajectory.” – Tebogo Tsimane, CCO, FlySAA.
