Its a disgrace that the SA CAA dont step in and put an end to this BS.

VELVET SKY are blatantly stealing money from fare paying passengers. You buy a ticket from them, but they cant deliver the service.

"Airports Company South Africa (Acsa) has confirmed that Velvet Sky cancelled several of its flights on Wednesday.

This was because the airline had not paid South African Airways technical for its services fees.

Velvet Sky was not available for comment, but Acsa spokesperson Solomon Makgale confirmed the cancellations.

“Velvet Sky cancelled their flights at Cape Town International Airport. So far they have not given us an update on the flights that were supposed to take-off on Wednesday evening.”

Meanwhile, one passenger said he was stranded in Cape Town.

“I saw on a board that the flight was postponed. I walked to the counter and they said there was a problem [with flights]."
