South African Airways suspends all international services
South African Airways is immediately cancelling all international services until the end of May. Operations will continue on some of SAA’s domestic and regional routes, although the majority were cancelled in recent days. South Africa has declared a “state of disaster” in response to the coronavirus outbreak and placed restrictions on travellers from “high-risk” countries, including the US, UK, and Germany – 3 of SAA’s most popular destination markets. The operator is being run by “business rescue practitioners” while a turnaround plan is drawn up. Thursday, IATA appealed to govts in Africa and the Middle East to provide emergency support to airlines, noting that many routes had been suspended and others had been hit by demand drops of up to 60%. <br/>
