South African Airways (SAA) is the leading carrier in Africa, serving 57 destinations, in partnership with SA Express, Airlink, and its low-cost carrier, Mango, within South Africa, across the continent, and six intercontinental routes from its Johannesburg hub.
From our first flight in February 1934 we have welcomed the world to South Africa by showing off the warm generous heart of the country. We have grown into a global airline - 14 Skytrax Awards, which recognizes us as the best African airline and Africa's first 4-star airline - and always strives for excellence and innovation.
SAA joined Star Alliance in April 2006, making it the first African carrier to sign with one of the three airline alliances.
