South African Airways unveils its flight schedule with the A350s

South African Airways has decided to re-deploy its Airbus A350s on long-haul flights suspended due to the pandemic. The airline initially leased the A350s for their fuel efficiency and passenger comfort.

The decision to reinstate these aircraft is a positive sign for SAA’s turnaround. This is an indication that SAA is committed to providing safe and efficient long-haul flights again. The return of the A350s indicates that SAA is taking steps to rebuild its reputation as a reliable airline and strengthen its position in the market.

The Airbus A350 benefits from advanced aerodynamics, state-of-the-art technology and improved user experience features such as wider seats and improved cabin environments. These factors make it an attractive choice for airlines looking to provide the highest standards of comfort and safety while reducing their carbon footprint.

As for its program of flights which will soon be operated by A350s, South African Airways has announced its intention to deploy this large aircraft on routes serving São Paulo Guarulhos in Brazil and Perth in Australia, Frankfurt in Germany, London Heathrow in the United Kingdom, Washington Dulles and New York John F. Kennedy in the United States.

SAA expects the reinstatement of these aircraft will provide operational benefits by improving reliability, reducing fuel costs and reducing long-term maintenance expenses.
