Last week, we asked if readers would continue to book flights with SAA once the airline has been relaunched.

Of 349 responses, a large majority of 64% answered ‘no’. Only 17% said they would book with SAA again, while the remaining 19% responded ‘maybe’.

Increased tourism numbers from the US seem certain, with Delta Air Lines resuming flights between Johannesburg and Atlanta and United Airlines launching its inaugural flight between New York and Johannesburg earlier this month.

Both airlines, however, have yet to introduce a direct flight to Cape Town. Do you think this could be a barrier to growth from the US market?
