South African Airways Operations Update

Updated: 29 June 2026

South African Airways (SAA) is committed to keeping our customers informed and reassured as we closely monitor planned protest activity expected across certain parts of South Africa on Tuesday, 30 June 2026.

At present, all SAA flights and airport operations remain on schedule. Customers are advised to allow additional time when travelling to and from the airport, as local disruptions may occur.

We are working in close coordination with the relevant authorities, airport stakeholders, and security agencies to assess developments and ensure the continued safety of our customers and employees.

Our teams will continue to monitor the situation throughout the period and provide timely updates should any changes affect travel plans. For the latest travel information, customers are encouraged to:
