FLYSAFAIR flights currently
do not reflect in the GDS
after the end of October 2018.
This is due to the airline
finalising its slots for the next
Iata season, which runs from
March to October.
Head of sales and
distribution at the airline, Kirby
Gordon, told TNW that the
slots should be finalised by
the end of April, and possibly
within the next 10 days. He
also confirmed that, despite
rumours, FlySafair would not
be discontinuing routes.
He explained that the airline
was taking delivery of two new
aircraft, which would be added
to the schedule. As soon as
the carrier had finalisation
from the airports about which
slots could be used for the
new aircraft, the fares would
be loaded in the system for
the upcoming Iata season.
“Bookers can expect
that there may be a few
time slot changes as per
the adjustments but no
cancellations,” he added. “Our
schedules are very tight so we
like to make sure that we have
100% confirmation on slots
before we load.
