South African Airways needs a government guarantee to help it secure bank funding otherwise the carrier is at risk of entering liquidation, board member Martin Kingston said, as a crippling strike enters its sixth day.

South African Airways resumed some regional flights but warned that only a deal with striking unions can resolve its current crisis, as the government said it has no more money for the carrier.

South African Airways has reached an agreement with unions to end the industrial action, which began seven days ago.

South African Airways will be restoring a full flight schedule in stages over the weekend.

Due to the planned support strike on Monday 25 November related to a labour dispute at Finnish postal service, Finnair must cancel some flights from Nov 24-25. The airline apologises for the inconvenience this causes to its customers.

Lufthansa is offering the UFO trade union the opportunity to begin the comprehensive arbitration process at its subsidiaries, even without a binding peace obligation. But the flight-attendant union UFO is threatening a new industrial action after talks in preparation for an arbitration process broke down for the second time this month.

And a real strike on Monday 2 December at Lufthansa daughter, catering unit LSG (which is being sold to GateGourmet). Be prepared to be hungry if you fly Lufthansa Group tomorrow!
