South African Airways congratulates Bali Mabena, Chairperson of the BARSA (Board of Airline Representatives of South Africa) and SAA’s Head of Customer Engagement, along with the entire BARSA team, on the successful execution of the BARSA 2025 Aviation Summit. The summit provided a crucial platform to address key industry challenges, including South Africa’s evolving air traffic landscape, infrastructure constraints, fuel price fluctuations, and fleet optimization. With a focus on regional growth, passenger experience, and future capacity planning, this gathering set the stage for strategic decisions shaping the future of air travel. SAA remains committed to these conversations and to driving sustainable aviation solutions for Africa and beyond.

At the BARSA Aviation Summit 2025, industry leaders explored the future of air connectivity in Africa and the opportunities that lie ahead. Key takeaways: • Growth is coming – Africa’s aviation sector is set for major expansion in the next 20-30 years. • Challenges remain – Outdated infrastructure, high costs, and regulatory barriers need urgent attention. • Unserved routes hold potential – Harare-London and Johannesburg-Mumbai could be key growth corridors. • Regional agreements like AfCFTA can drive progress but require stronger implementation. • Tourism as a catalyst – Events like the G20 summit are increasing demand for new routes. • Collaboration is key – Governments, airlines, and airports must work together to overcome barriers. Africa’s aviation future is bright, but action is needed. Let’s keep pushing for greater connectivity, investment, and collaboration! #BARSASummit2025 #AviationGrowth #ConnectingAfrica #AirConnectivity #FutureOfAviation

BARSA Summit 2025: A Vision for the Future The BARSA Chairperson opened the summit with a powerful address, unveiling the new BARSA logo symbolizing resilience and vision. Under the theme “Shaping Tomorrow’s Aviation Today,” key priorities include: ✈️ Regulatory Efficiency – Digital transformation of Foreign Operator Permits (FOPs). 🌍 African Connectivity – Strengthening regional and international links. ✈️ Passenger Experience – Innovation in airport and airline operations. ✈️ Aviation’s Economic Role – Aligning policy and industry for growth. In honor of International Women’s Month, the Chairperson highlighted women’s contributions to aviation and reaffirmed the commitment to diversity and equality. With collaboration at the heart of this summit, we look forward to shaping the future of aviation together! #BARSASummit2025 #FutureOfAviation #Innovation #AviationLeadership #DiversityInAviation

5 years ago on this day, in the early days of COVID-19, uncertainty gripped the world. Fear was everywhere, but so was the call to act. Amid the unknown, a team of brave men and women at SAA ✈️ stepped forward, raising their hands for a mission few dared to take, bringing stranded South Africans 🇿🇦home from Wuhan🇨🇳 . It was more than a flight. It was a statement of courage 💪, duty, and unwavering commitment to our people. That same spirit keeps us flying today, through every challenge, for every South African. 🚀
