A FlySafair flight from Cape Town to Johannesburg had to turn around and head back to the Mother City on Wednesday morning owing to a"minor technical issue", according to the company.

At 07:13, FlySafair announced that flight FA128 from Cape Town to Johannesburg had to return to Cape Town due to a minor technical issue on the aircraft."Shortly after take-off, the crew received an alert regarding a minor technical issue relating to the way the aircraft was balancing fuel loads and, in the interest of safety, they took the decision to return to Cape Town International so that the aircraft could be inspected.

"This disruption to operations will have a knock-on effect on some later flights, specifically FA129 from Johannesburg to Cape Town. Our teams are currently sending out SMS notifications to all those customers, using the numbers we were provided at the time of booking. Airport staff at OR Tambo International are also available to speak with customers on FA129.

Hi. We apologise for the flight delay and inconvenience caused. Our teams confirm that SMS communication was forwarded to passengers. - BN
