SAA asked to change call sign.
Due to recent developments in the Ministry of Sports, the Minister of Transport has approached the SAA board regarding the use of the “Springbok” call sign. It was suggested that it must change to reflect the South African national symbol, the King Protea , and in future it should sound something like this:
“.....Flowerpower 629er on final....”
The industry wasn't approached in this manner and a huge outcry is set to follow...........
