The announcement comes amid news that a merger between SA Express and South African Airways (South Africa's flag carrier airline) is currently underway.

Context

On June 22, the South African Civil Aviation Authority (SACAA) reinstated SA Express' operating license after it was suspended in May due to serious safety concerns. During normal periods the airline operates domestic flights within South Africa as well as regional flights to Namibia, Botswana, Zambia, Zimbabwe, and the DRC.
