JOHANNESBURG – FlySafair says all technical issues affecting its check-in systems have been resolved.

Technicians worked throughout the weekend on a global technical issue that caused massive flight delays.

FlySafair’s chief marketing officer, Kirby Gordon, says the airline is investigating the cause of the systems glitch.

“Thanks to the support of our dedicated teams, 98 percent of flights yesterday (Sunday) departed on time, and systems were ultimately restored last night by 10 pm. So, all operations are normal from today (Monday) onwards.”

Before the debacle, Airports Company South Africa (ACSA) urged passengers using Flysafair and Lift airlines to arrive earlier than usual for their flights due to ongoing technical issues.

Passengers were stuck in long queues since the problem was reported over the weekend. 

Moreover, birds of passage were advised to arrive at the airport at least three hours earlier for regional flights and two hours earlier for domestic flights.
