The airline said that it will also be appearing before the Labour Court at 10 am to try to get an interdict to halt the strike.

Numsa served Comair with a notice of its intention to strike after failing to reach an agreement over a salary dispute.

Comair’s executive director Wrenelle Stander said that passengers have nothing to worry about.

“The number of staff that could potentially strike is about 300 and Comair has a staff contingent of 2,200 people. SO we’re fairly confident that we will have continuous operations.”
