News24 reports that SA Airways (SAA) says it will minimise disruptions effective Wednesday in light of pilots' "work-to-rule" industrial action.
On Tuesday night, the carrier said it deeply regretted the decision taken by employees associated with the SAA Pilots Association (Saapa) and National Transport Movement (NTM) Pilot Forum, especially in light of a "comprehensive and favourable final offer" extended by SAA on 5 March. The SAA Group CEO, Professor John Lamola, said: "We have implemented strong contingency measures to minimise the impact of this industrial action … Our priority is to resolve outstanding issues collaboratively while maintaining service continuity and minimising inconvenience to our valued customers while upholding the highest standards of safety and operational reliability." Pilots went on strike ahead of the holidays in December last year after deadlocked wage talks. Following the new series of negotiations from 23 December 2024, SAA made a final offer to the pilots in March, inclusive of a three-year salary increase agreement and introducing a longevity salary progression model for pilots.
