Unable to overcome it’s cash flow problems, South African carrier Nationwide has stopped flying. The airline used by Saga, Kuoni and Thomas Cook stopped flying on Tuesday. This is not so good news for holiday makers especially with the approaching summer holidays.
The Gatwick based airline is used by thousand of British long-haul holiday makers. Nationwide operated four return flights a week between Gatwick and Johannesburg. The airline’s last flight from Gatwick only went as far as Shannon in Ireland rather than Johannesburg.
The affected companies, Saga, Kuoni and Thomas Cook are said to have booked customers who were due to fly with Nationwide from Gatwick onto other flights.
