💨 Abstract

A pilot strike at FlySafair has caused domestic flight prices in South Africa to surge significantly, especially on key routes like Johannesburg-Cape Town. Prices have shot up on various booking platforms, with competitors raising fares. Negotiations between the airline and the pilots' union continue. FlySafair normally supplies nearly 40% of the seat capacity on these routes, and its grounding of flights has led to capacity shortages and higher prices for other airlines.
