SA Express on Friday announced that it was cancelling its flights to Mthatha with immediate effect because the airport there has been downgraded.
The Civil Aviation Authority has downgraded the Mthatha airport effective from Friday, 25 January 2019, following a negative audit finding against it.
Spokesperson Madikwe Mabotha said they have advised customers that flights on this route will be cancelled.
He said they were working with the Provincial Government in the Eastern Cape to find a speedy solution so that operations can resume.
The EC Department of Transport introduced SA Express as the second airline after Airlink to operate this route from December.
The airline said affected customers are requested to call SA Express Customer Care on 011 978 2355.
All booked passengers for the period will be fully refunded.
