South African Airways (SAA) is taking measures to ensure that its flight operations proceed smoothly despite a pilots’ strike that is set to take place on Thursday due to a pay dispute.
The South African Airways Pilots Association initially requested a 30% salary increase, which was later adjusted to 15%. In response, SAA has cautioned that fulfilling these requests could result in bankruptcy and has instead proposed an 8.4% pay raise retroactive to April.
