Executive Travel names SAA Best Airline to Africa

"South African Airways is honoured to have been recognised by Executive Travel magazine as the leading airline to Africa. Earning this honour validates our efforts to offer the best and most comfortable service to Southern Africa, along with the best route network," said Marc Cavaliere, executive VP, North America for SAA. "It is also a timely award, with the World Cup taking place on the African continent. We're proud to play such an important role in bringing the world to South Africa for the tournament, and also celebrate having been selected by Bafana Bafana - the South African soccer team - and the US Men's National Soccer team, as their official airline for the tournament."

In addition to Executive Travel magazine's Leading Edge Award, South African Airways has also earned honours for its service to Africa from Business Traveler magazine, Global Traveler magazine, and the Skytrax World Travel Awards.
