DALLAS – Johannesburg-based South African Airways (SA) has announced plans to increase capacity to meet a recent surge in demand.
A slimmed-down SA, which restarted flights in September 2021, currently has a fleet of seven Airbus aircraft. This includes three A319s, two A320s, one A330-300 and a single A330-300. Three further A320s will now be added, taking the fleet to ten aircraft.
The first A320 arrived in late September. Two further examples will follow in October and November, making the A320 SA’s primary aircraft, accounting for half its fleet.
