FlySafair on Sunday confirmed that one of its flights - FA212 from Johannesburg to Cape Town - was required to return to Johannesburg after its wheel was damaged during take-off.
FlyCemAir launched their new routes between East London and Johannesburg, taking off from King Phalo Airport in the cloudy early Monday morning. Flights leave at 6am and take off from OR Tambo International at 6pm on separate schedules. The CRJ200 jet accommodates 50 passengers, and had an 80% load factor for its first flight, FlyCemAir chief commercial officer Shaniel Singh said.
What was meant to be a festive holiday trip to distress in Cape Town became a nightmare for a Joburg businesswoman after her brand-new R4,000 luggage bag was ripped apart by airport staff.
