South African Airways will shut its regional office in London next month, bringing to an end – after more than 70 years – a formal physical presence in the UK.

SAA will shut its regional office in London on 31 July

The carrier, whose flights to the UK and Europe are temporarily suspended, has – however – appointed Discover the World as its UK general sales agent, and pledged to keep engagement with the trade ticking over while it navigates its own financial and operational challenges.


Discover the World will assume responsibilities for sales and marketing representation for SAA in the UK from 1 June ahead of the London office closing on 31 July.
