The FlySafair pilot strike has officially come to an end, following the signing of a formal agreement between airline management and Solidarity today (August 1).
This comes after several weeks of negotiations under the guidance of the Commission for Conciliation, Mediation and Arbitration (CCMA).
FlySafair says it will begin restoring full capacity to its flights. The airline anticipates a stabilisation of airfares in the coming weeks as more seats become available across the network and aircraft return to operation.
“We are pleased to have reached a constructive resolution that allows us to move forward together,” says Kirby Gordon, CMO of FlySafair. “The return of our full schedule will help bring much-needed capacity back to the market, which is essential to restoring fare equilibrium and making travel more affordable again for South Africans.”
