SA Express cancelled several national flights on Wednesday morning, citing operational issues.
In a statement after 4pm, they said their operations were resuming.
“The airline’s flights were cancelled for operational reasons earlier today. Alternative travel arrangements were provided for all its passengers to get to and from their destinations.
“Passengers are advised to contact our reservations department (+27 11 978 9905). SA Express staff will also be present at all the airports to assist.”
The airline expressed “deep regret” at the inconvenience caused to passengers and other customers.
A source had earlier speculated that the airline failed to pay Air Traffic and Navigation Services (ATNS) and Airports Company South Africa (ACSA). This claim was, however, not verified.
