SA Express Airways

Routes' latest update on how airlines and airports across the Middle East and Africa are responding to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The South African Civil Aviation Authority has reinstated SA Express’ air operator’s certificate‚ paving the way for the carrier to resume operations.

The airline has agreed to initially acquire five E-Jets - three E170s and two E190s, from ECC Leasing, a wholly-owned Embraer subsidiary. It will start to receive the aircraft in the first half of this year with a further eight E190s joining the Airlink fleet subject to formalisation of lease deals.
