Emirates denies plans to buy a stake in South African Airways | GulfNews.com:
Emirates said on Monday it has “no plans” to invest in South African Airways (SAA), following media reports about talks between the two carriers.
“We are committed to the South African market and have enjoyed close cooperation with South African Airways since 1997, and we are working closely to further enhance our code-share,” an Emirates spokesperson told Gulf News via email. “However, we have no plans to invest to take any equity share in South African Airways or any other airline.”
SAA is one of the UAE carrier’s more than 20 codeshare partners. The tie-up allow flyers to earn and redeem Emirates miles on flights with SAA, which operates the largest route network in Africa and serves over 1,200 destinations and 180 countries worldwide.
