South African Airways is the biggest domestic and global airline company in all of S. A. . . Its HQ is found in Airways Park, which is on the grounds of the OR Tambo Global airport. The company flies to 37 destinations globally and has centers in both Johannesburg and Cape City. Before South African Airways, there had been the Union Airways that the South African state acquired and was given its current name in 1934. The firm's expansion was comparatively slow, being heavily affected by WWII. But in 1945, SAA achieved an established company goal; operating a route through to Europe. In the 1950s, the Boeing 707 was implemented, followed by one or two more recent models of the "jet age". Further advances occurred continually till the 1970s, where although the airline was gradually growing; the results of apartheid were beginning to show about the world standing of the airline. The U.S. All-embracing Anti-Apartheid Act of 1986 banned all flights by South African-owned carriers including SAA. In 1987, SAA's services to Perth and Sydney were finished, due to Australia's opposition to apartheid. In more recent times, SAA launched a restructuring, which was targeted to make certain that all staff are talented current with current global standards, and to resize the business to make it more lucrative. SAA flies to 5 domestic destinations and 32 world destinations in twenty-six nations and with English Airways, Continental Airlines, Delta Air Lines, Emirates, Korean Air, Malaysia Airlines, Qantas, Qatar Airways and United Airlines - is one of only 9 airlines that fly to all 6 inhabited continents.
