SOUTH African Airways has announced that the seven-day strike is over. Striking union members will be back at work tomorrow morning (July 29). According to SAA ceo, Khaya Ngqula, the deal was signed a little while ago. Ngqula also confirmed that it would take a little time to clear up the backlog, stating that normal operations would be restored by about 12h00 tomorrow for domestic travel and Saturday for international travel. Agents can resume bookings from tomorrow for both domestic and international flights. Speaking to the media earlier, Ngqula apologised to the travel trade for not communicating with the trade effectively. He attributed this to the strike being the first of its kind at SAA and and a what he termed "a learning curve". (Darren Sandras at JIA and Natalia Thomson)
