Battling SAA may scrap Joburg-London flights
By TOM MAPHAM
IN A drastic cost-cutting exercise South African Airways may scrap several of its international flight services, including the Johannesburg-London route.
The cost-saving measures are part of a turnaround plan aimed to save the company that recorded a R650 million loss last year, its chief executive, Khaya Ngqula, said in an address in East London last night.
Addressing the Institute of International Affairs, Ngqula said
the London-Johannesburg route could be one of the first expenses to go. Flying the route cost the national carrier R500m a year, he said.

I think they mean London as in LHR, not as in ELS!
