The Chief Executive Officer of Lanseria International Airport, Rampa Rammopo, states that over 20% of their commercial passenger services are currently not operating, which will impact their bottom line, as FlySafair is the only airline operator at Lanseria.
On Monday, the airline company cancelled 26 flights due to the strike action by pilots over wage disputes.
