Delta delays flights to SA again

I believe the technical phrase is "Dang It!"
I'm a little surprised to see this since there are no longer high-risk country limitations. IIRC, the A350-900s Delta currently has don't have the legs to fly ATL JNB fully loaded, but the ones on order will be able to make it. More details but no sources in this thread: JNB A350 Now Scheduled Maybe Delta is trying to wait it out until they take delivery of the new aircraft before beginning the ATL JNB CPT ATL route.
