South African Airways’ only Airbus A330-300 recently flew back from Accra in Ghana with passengers despite being delayed in the country after apparently taking on contaminated fuel.

The jet arrived at 22:49 on 15 April and the passengers disembarked quickly.Get 14 days free to read all our investigative and in-depth journalism. Thereafter you will be billed R75 per month.
