A total of 50 flights had been cancelled yesterday, amid a strike by cabin crew members.

 


SAA obtained an interim court interdict, ordering staff to return to work immediately.

 


Spokesperson for the national carrier, Tlali Tlali, says: "Staff are returning to work. We have enough staff to operate all flights."



Meanwhile, the South African Cabin Crew Association (Sacca) has confirmed it will launch an urgent appeal against the Labour Court ruling. 

 


Cabin crew protested outside SAA offices, demanding an increase in international meal allowances which say they have been unchanged for six years.



The industrial action saw passengers stranded.


 

Many complained there had been little to no communication from SAA about their flights.
