Leading airline growing its business into Asia

SAA is expanding its global route network with growth planned for routes to Beijing

Award-winning airline South African Airways (SAA) is planning to introduce a thrice-weekly service to Beijing, China by the end of October 2011.

SAA is working with the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC) to obtain slots that will enable the airline to effectively connect with the greater African or South American markets, both of which cater for a large percentage of Chinese traffic.
