Durban - Nomusa Dube-Ncube, MEC for economic development, tourism and environmental affairs, said the decision would devastate the province’s economy.
From Saturday, local and international routes to Durban, Port Elizabeth and East London will end and those to Cape Town will be reduced. The announcement was made by Les Matuson and Siviwe Dongwana, the joint business rescue practitioners for the embattled airline, earlier this month. On Friday, Dube-Ncube said: “The KZN Economic Council, KZN Growth Coalition, various chambers, stakeholders in the tourism industry and many other sectors of our economy fear KZN’s vision of becoming a Gateway to Africa and the world would never be realised.”
Maybe they can walk their fat arses from Dbn to Ctn...
I turn to agree with you on this one, this will lead to downfall of Durban tourism
That's because they want first class service for free. First they must pay ethekweni debt.
It is true,economic sabotaged is
KhandaniM ..treating the SAA and other SOCs narrowly as household entities with mere cost centers and revenue streams and ignore their impactful multiplier effects and positive spillovers you'll take decisions of closing routes and negatively disrupting (sabotaging) the economy! Saddening!
0h please - there are so many quality carriers going to and from Durban - who needs SAA

They should have just cancelled all their international routes and continue with their domestic routes until they sort out their mess.
Government blaming government wat a joke
Economic sabotage is what myanc did to that airline, and to the whole country too. There are airlines that are already picking up the slack from SAA, we cannot inject billions to flog a dead horse.
I don’t see how this is economic sabotage. What is the point of running the route and lose money in the process? The problem with unschooled politicians is that they just run their mouths even where it is not necessary to do so. Morning re tough decision ahead.
If the route is making money for the airline, indeed it's economic sabotage, if the route is not making money, then one must understand, business is about profit.
The KZN “government”. Run by ... Who have been in charge of flysaa since when So the MYANC is responsible for the economic sabotage of the MYANC KZN branch. Sounds about right infighting
There other airlines last I heard.
Die lughawe is mos nie gesluit vir ander Rederye nie. SAL is mos nie die enigste lugredery wat mense rond vlieg nie. Dis tyd dat die media op ander sake fokus! SAL is bankrot daar is nie geld om besigheid te doen nie.
And Sihle the premier of that province is talking about UNITY,what is he smoking?
_JS_Bond_ The politicians teavel for free on SAA , and by cancelling this route will result in politicians having to pay for their ticket on other airlines
There are many other profitable airlines that service that route so KZN government must take a seat and stop talking nonsense
What would you call the theft for all these years?
My Fok Marlize. Not in your wildest dreams will regional SAA flights being cancelled cause any harm to the KZN economy. There are other airlines who have already soaked up the passengers. Life goes on, good bye SAA.
Im sure it will quickly replaced by other airlines. If there is an opportunity to provide a service they will and will cost the taxpayers boggerall.
