South African Airways Wins Top Airline Award at Akwaaba
South African Airways (SAA) has strengthened its collaboration with travel agents by organizing familiarisation trips (Famtrip) and workshops to enhance product knowledge. At the Akwaaba Travel Market held from September 13-15, 2026, SAA sponsored four travel agents—Fare Deal Travel & Tours, Vacation Places Limited, 3Cords Leisure & Vacation, and OCI Travel & Tours—to an all-expenses-paid Famtrip to Mauritius.
The agents experienced various tourist locations and hotels, which improved their ability to advise clients. Notable comments included praise for SAA's seamless facilitation from Oluwayemisi Kpote of 3Cords Travels and Olubusola Afolabi of OCI Travels & Tours, who noted the trip enhanced their sales.
SAA also won the Top African Airline Award at the event, announced by Ikechi Uko, Publisher of African Travel Market, recognizing its excellence among the Top 100 Travel Icons in Nigeria.
