Gulf carriers, FlySafair eat into SAA market share

18 Apr 2018 - by Tessa Reed
Comments | 0

OVER the last five

years, SAA has lost

considerable market

share – 23, 45 and 71

percentage points in

the domestic, regional

and international space

respectively.

In the domestic space,

SAA’s loss of market

share has coincided with

the entrance of FlySafair

and market share gains

by Mango. Regionally,

Ethiopian Airlines and

Air Namibia have seen

market share gains and

internationally, Qatar

and Emirates have

achieved considerable

gains.

SAA’s loss in revenue

for the year ending

March 2017 has been

partially attributed to

this loss of market

share. Other factors

cited include currency

fluctuation and Brent

crude prices.

The airline reported

a R5,6 billion loss

for the period, more

than three times the

R1,5 billion reported

the previous year.
