HOEDSPRUIT, LIMPOPO - A conditional agreement has been sealed between pilots and SAA executives.
But frustrated passengers are still struggling to get flights to their various destinations.
At the same time, while the planes might be back in the sky, the talks on the ground are far from over. Salary negotiations for better working conditions continue.
Pilots affiliated to the SAA Pilots Association are demanding a 15-point-7 percent pay hike.
But the national carrier is only willing to offer 8 percent.
Guy Leitch, Publisher and Editor of SA Flyer Magazine had a discussion with eNCA's Heidi Giokos.
