On the other hand, would airlines even notice they changed paragraph 2 unless they announce it? I suppose it remains to be seen, so far these gazettes have not even been put on the Government's COVID-19 website (
https://www.gov.za/covid-19/resource...virus-covid-19) and no NOTAMs have been sent when I checked a few hours ago.
ok, thanks for distinguishing that. I missed it. I suspect you're right. I don't think the airlines are going to split hairs into atomic particles every time ZA publishes an update. It's usually the case that the travellers are correcting the airline employees!
Where do you check for NOTAMs? I didn't realize they would include COVID restrictions. I've been grounded since February and have fallen out of practice when it comes to travelling. Last year 120k flown. This year? I drove by my local airport twice (GRR) on the way to Costco.
