were black passengers allowed to fly in the USA or South Africa back then?

I was helping my nephew with his school project. One of the topics was about Rosa Park's refusal to move on the bus.

It got me thinking... back in those days, were black passengers allowed to fly? If so, were there seperate areas on the planes?

How about South Africa? During the old days, what was the policy when it came to flying?

Also, a somewhat related question... when segregation was going on back then, which group did Asians fall into? For example, if a Korean/Chinese/Mexican/etc, were on the bus with Rosa Parks, where would he sit?

Thanks for any info!
