Saa Welcomes Two New Airbus A320s, Signalling Recovery And Growth

In an announcement that signals a new era for South African Airways SAA , the national carrier has kicked off the year with an expansion of its fleet.

In just two weeks, SAA has added two leased narrow-body Airbus A320 aircraft to its operations, bringing the fleet's total to an impressive 20 aircraft.

This growth marks a significant milestone for the airline , which only three years ago emerged from business rescue with a mere six planes.

The newly leased Airbus A320s, donned in SAA-branded livery, have arrived at Johannesburg from AerCap, a leading global aircraft leasing firm based in Ireland.

This partnership is a testament to SAA's improving credit status and the recovery of its financial standing with major international aviation finance institutions, proving the airline is slowly but surely regaining its prominence in the aviation sector.
