The South African flag carrier has of late moved to consolidate its market share in the profitable, albeit under-served, markets of Western and Central Africa, whilst axing non performing European routes. In May, SAA started flights to the Benin capital, Cotonou, then two weeks ago, SAA also announced an increase in its Accra, Ghana frequencies, whilst dropping its Cape Town - London route in order to free up more aircraft.
