SAA resumes flights between South Africa and Zimbabwe

Flights between the two countries will resume today. 

Flights between South Africa and Zimbabwe were affected yesterday due to flight restrictions imposed by the Zimbabwean authorities on operations. 

"The decision to impose the restriction was based on the requirement from Zimbabwean authorities for SAA to have a Foreign Operators Permit (FOP) to operate in that country," says SAA spokesperson, Tlali Tlali.

"The airline had to cancel operations between Johannesburg, Harare and Victoria Falls."

"Since the grounding of SAA's aircraft in Harare yesterday, the airline prepared and submitted all required documentation in compliance with the instruction from the Zimbabwean authorities," Tlali explains.

"Assistance will be provided to all ticketed passengers holding SAA tickets affected by the flight cancellations of yesterday, Saturday 19 August 2017 via any SAA Call Centre, City Travel Office or dedicated Travel Agent with the following conditions".
