South African Airways says it has cancelled over 160 flights in response to the low demand for air travel due to the coronavirus.
South African Airways (SAA) said on Wednesday that it had cancelled 162 international and regional flights until the end of this month due to low demand and restrictions linked to the coronavirus.
SAA is under a form of bankruptcy protection and battling for its survival.
President Cyril Ramaphosa on Sunday announced travel bans affecting several countries where SAA flies, including the United States, Britain and Germany.
