South African airways to resume flight operations amid COVID-19

South African Airways (SAA) says it aims to resume domestic flights between Johannesburg and Cape Town from mid-June

SAA, which is under a form of bankruptcy protection, suspended all commercial passenger flights in late march, when the government imposed one of the strictest lockdowns.

But President Cyril Ramaphosa said in an address to the nation on Sunday that domestic air travel for business purposes would be phased in after June 1, when the country moves to level 3 of a five-level alert system.
