August
is a month of anticipation of renewal, of the celebration of women and
of looking ahead to what the year's busiest season holds. Matric exams

arrives in late October. Let's use this month to admire and appreciate
the role that women play in our lives across every spectrum of society.

We are proud to announce the introduction of new state-of-the-art
Airbus A350-900 aircraft into service during the latter part of 2019.
The aircraft will operate on a nonstop basis between Johannesburg and
New York’s John F Kennedy International Airport (JFK), replacing the
A340-600 aircraft on the route. SAA has secured favourable lease
conditions on two aircrafts as part of SAA’s fleet renewal strategy one
of the objectives of which was replacing some of the aging A340-600
aircraft.
The introduction of the
A350-900 twin-engine wide-body aircraft, is an important step-change,
as it presents a superior product for a world-class leading customer
experience, boasts fuel-efficiency (reduction of 20% fuel burn) with
reduced carbon emissions and has the latest offering in safety,
technology and maintenance.

SAA has taken a strategic decision to close the SAA City Ticketing
Offices (CTOs) within South Africa. This move comes in the wake of the
growing traveller demand for more comprehensive self-service online and
in-situ facilities, effectively making ticketing offices less efficient
and ultimately, a thing of the past.
Our valued customers remain central to our existence and following
the closure of the CTOs we continue to assist those customers
accustomed to the CTOs, via dedicated telephone and/or e-mail contacts
as detailed below:

With immediate effect, Miles For Style will no longer be a partner in the Voyager Programme.
