Breaking News: STA shuts shops in SA

24 Aug 2020
Comments | 0

Following the shock announcement last week of the insolvency of its mother company, STA Travel Holdings AG, STA Travel in South Africa has ceased trading. 

A brief statement was issued to Travel News: “On Wednesday, August 19, it was announced that STA Travel’s Swiss parent company, STA Travel Holdings AG, had filed for insolvency. On Friday, August 21, as a result of that decision, and upon reviewing the South African business, we were left with no choice but to cease trading with immediate effect.  Over the coming days, we will be working through the process and how it might impact our operations.”

Attempts to reach the South African website this morning resulted in a pop-up notice reading:

“To our valued customers, due to the recent announcement that STA Travel South Africa has ceased trading, unfortunately our travel experts are unable to assist you at this time. Please be assured that if you had a previous booking with us, or hold a live booking, you will receive further communication in the coming days. We are sorry for the inconvenience and the limited information available to you at this time.”
