International drug smugglers have targeted SA Airways as a means to move their products into Europe, SAA acting CEO Chris Smyth said on Wednesday.
Briefing the National Assembly's public enterprises committee, he said the "drug smuggling plague" SAA was currently experiencing was a movement of drugs in a supply chain from the growing areas of South-east Asia and South America into Africa, where Africa was used as a hub or transit point into Europe.
"And the point in Africa moves," he said.
It's now SAA's turn. And I say that because if you look in context, SAA has not had a drug problem since the four or five episodes... in 2005 and 2006.
"At the time increased security chased that problem away and we will do that again this time," he said.
