SAA welcomes Qantas codeshare extension
South African Airways has applauded the International Air Services Commission decision to extend a codeshare agreement with Qantas until the end of March next year.
South African Airways’ country manager for Australasia, Tim Clyde-Smith, said the IASC interim decision was "welcome news" ahead of its review of the Qantas application to extend the codeshare until 2016, which SAA supports.
"We believe this will greatly assist our ability to book and fly passengers over the Christmas holiday period, traditionally our busiest time of the year," Clyde-Smith said.
"We look forward to working with the travel industry who have faced uncertainty as the previous December 31 cut-off date got closer."
SAA has announced it will extend its Fly on Friday special fares out of Perth which can now be booked until the end of July.
