CemAir has warned South Africans that planned protest action is expected on June 30 2026, which may result in airport disruptions across the country. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Although the extent and impact of the protests remain uncertain, passengers need to note that road access to airports, airport staffing levels, security screening, and baggage handling may be affected. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
CemAir said that these factors could lead to flight delays or operational disruptions beyond its control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The protests in South Africa are part of a national shutdown linked to immigration. The central group behind the shutdown is March and March, which has been protesting for close to two years. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
President Cyril Ramaphosa warned protestors that violence, threats and intimidation will not be tolerated. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The South African Police Service (SAPS) and private security are also on heightened alert with the protests. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
CemAir said that it is actively monitoring the situation and working closely with airport authorities and operational partners to minimise any impact on its flight schedule. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Our teams will make every effort to maintain normal operations and ensure passengers reach their destinations as safely and efficiently as possible,” it said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It has advised travellers travelling on Tuesday, June 30, to arrive at the airport earlier than usual to allow additional time for possible traffic congestion and airport processing delays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One should also monitor their email, WhatsApp notifications and social media channels for the latest updates. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
They should also ensure their contact details are up to date in their booking so they can receive important notifications about their flight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For CemAir customers, affected passengers will be contacted directly using the contact information provided at the time of booking, should operational changes become necessary.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
