SAA took delivery of its third A330-300 in December. The remaining two on order are scheduled for delivery in March and May.
The new aircraft are already servicing the airline’s Johannesburg-Lagos and São Paulo services, as well as the Cape Town-Johannesburg route.
The 249-seat aircraft have 46 seats in business class and 203 in economy class. The A330-300s offer more business-class seats than the largest aircraft in SAA’s current fleet.
