TMG Digital/BusinessLIVE report that SA Airways (SAA) said on Thursday its flight schedule had returned to normal after industrial action by cabin crew was brought to an end by a court interdict on Wednesday.
The SA Cabin Crew Association (Sacca) said however it may seek to review the ruling and renew its pursuit of an increased international travel allowance. SAA said on Thursday it had had to cancel 50 flights on Wednesday as a result of the strike‚ but was expecting only minimal disruptions after a significant increase in cabin crew reporting for duty. But, Sacca’s Christopher Shabangu said SAA had not made significant moves in an attempt to address the union’s concerns‚ which also included general concerns over the state of the airline‚ including millions of rand being paid to international consultants on a turnaround strategy for the carrier. SAA said it was committed to a further facilitated dispute resolution process with the union over the next two months.
