The Airports Company South Africa (Acsa) has warned of a delay of flights at the OR Tambo International Airport on Monday.
"Please be advised that due to refueling challenges at OR Tambo International Airport, airlines are currently unable to refuel aircraft as normal. As a result, some flights may experience delays," Acsa said in a statement.
It added; "We understand the inconvenience this may cause, and technicians are working to resolve the situation as quickly as possible. We will continue to keep passengers informed of any updates."
Passengers are advised to contact their airlines directly for further information.
The latest developments comes just days after South African Airways announced that the pilots strike, called last week, had been suspended.
"This resolution follows successful negotiations between SAA Executive Management and the South African Airways Pilots Association (SAAPA). Management has offered an additional 1% salary increase, resulting in a total salary increase of 9.47% for SAA pilots," SAA said in a statement.
"As part of the agreement that broke the deadlock in wage negotiations, engagements on a continuous enterprise improvement program will continue over the next eight weeks. We are committed to implementing work-life concessions that should enhance the productivity of our world-acclaimed pilots," added SAA interim chief executive officer, Professor John Lamola.
SAA added that its flight reschedule will resume with more than 100 pilots returning to duty.
