SA Express will suspend operations from today (18 March 2020) until further notice.

This is in light of “recent adverse developments”, including the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the airline said in a brief statement.

This decision will impact both SA Express customers and staff in the following manner:

•           All customers will be accommodated on alternative flights

•           All non-critical SA Express staff will be placed on compulsory leave during this time

“The airline will utilise this period to review its current network and streamline operations for improved efficiency,” the statement continued, highlighting that SA Express would provide further communication on any additional developments “in due course”.
