South African Airlines was recently reported that the only A340-300 aircraft has been converted to "backup". The only A340-300 is also its last aircraft with its own ownership rights - all other aircraft are now leased.

South African Airlines was once the second largest airline in Africa, with its proud fleet of Boeing 747. It also once had the huge and super remote Airbus A340-600, which can reach almost anywhere in the world: London, Hong Kong, New York and Rio de Janeiro.
But now it is not possible. South African Airlines has been declining year by year for more than 20 years, and now only 7 aircraft are left in operation. These 7 aircraft include 3 A319, 2 A320-200, 1 A330-300 and 1 A340-300. It once leased two A350-900s from Hainan Airlines , but it gave up soon.

South Africa was once one of the dazzling BRICS countries, but poor management, coupled with the impact of the epidemic, it is really sad that Flag Airlines has fallen to this point. Now that the impact of the epidemic in South Africa has dissipated, South African Airlines wants to make a comeback. His leader recently said he wanted to get rid of the smaller A319 and the older A340 and live a good life! After
is returned to the A319, South African Airlines will lease three slightly larger A320; after the A340-300 is stopped, it will lease one A330-300 to replace it. Now that the passenger flow has improved a little, it is also a very correct decision to do so.

However, after the A340-300 with independent property rights was stopped, all the 7 aircraft operated by South African Airlines were leased, and there was no one of them!
