The union ‘will, with immediate effect, call-off the industrial action, and instruct their members currently on strike to return to work latest by 23 November 2019’, according to a statement issued by the airline.

SAA has assured passengers that it will restore the full flight schedule in stages over the weekend and that by Sunday, 24 November all domestic, regional and international flights will be fully operational.

On Saturday 23 November there will be a ‘near-normal service’ with selected cancellations on the domestic network and a few regional flights.
