EWN reports that South African Airways (SAA) board chairperson Dudu Myeni has directed the airline’s management to urgently deal with the issues raised by striking cabin crew.
Workers affiliated to the SA Cabin Crew Association (Sacca) demonstrated on Wednesday, demanding an increase in their international meal allowances when travelling overseas. This forced the national carrier to cancel 32 domestic and international flights. On Wednesday, SAA obtained a court interdict ordering all cabin crew to return to work immediately. The airline’s Tladi Tladi said it should be business as usual on Thursday. Sacca’s Mpho Moikangoa said they would continue engaging the airline in an effort to resolve their issues with management. Meanwhile, it was not clear if domestic flights which were earlier cancelled would be rescheduled for Thursday when workers return.
