JOHANNESBURG - FlySafair has had to cancel some flights amid the ongoing pilots’ strike over wages and scheduling.
Pilots associated with Solidarity are demanding a 10.5 percent salary increase and additional flight pay and bonuses.
But, the company is steadfast in its decision for a 5.7 percent salary hike. It says the demands are too steep.
The strike could go on for 14 days if the employer and workers can’t reach an agreement.
FlySafair says it has contacted affected customers and is working to minimise the impact.
