Airlines at South Africa’s busiest airport are unable to refuel their aircraft, raising the possibility of renewed delays just two days after pilots at the state-owned carrier ended a strike.
The OR Tambo International Airport east of Johannesburg is experiencing “refuelling challenges,” Airports Company South Africa said in an emailed statement on Monday.
More delays would lead to renewed concerns about potential disruptions during the peak December travel season. The South African Airways Pilots Association on December 7 ended a three-day strike that caused the State-owned carrier to cancel about 60% of its flights. SAA has since resumed its normal schedule.
