FlySafair apologizes to Jeannie D after ‘This is Africa ‘ Remark

Jeannie D took to Instagram to share her frustrations with the Airline following a delayed flight.

Jeannie tweeted; “So Durban @FlySafair flight to CT delayed by 2hrs… airline staff laughs at me and says, ‘what can we do? This is Africa’.”

The tweet has since been deleted.

FlySafair later issued an apology while discussing the issue with Channel 24.

This is what they had to say

It pains us to delay any of our customers as being on time is one of our core focus areas,” he said, adding; “Jeannie and the other passengers on her flight were unfortunately delayed today by 55min.”

According to Gordon the star’s flight was due to depart at 09:30 but had been pushed to 10:25.

Addressing the above mentioned employees alleged “This is Africa” comment, Gordon said the remark was “unacceptable.”

“FlySafair is a proudly South African company. Safair has been in operation for 35 years now and we have held the South African flag high in the world of international aviation. The implied view here is not one that is held by the company, but we absolutely accept that this individual is representing us. As we respond this individual is being addressed by the Durban Airport Manager on this unacceptable comment,” he said.
