Be nice to see another SAA , especially a 346 , however , there is a huge question mark as to whether SAA will exist after tomorrow’s liquidation hearing . Let’s hope we do see a return .

On the Sydney airport flight listings say that there is a flight arriving tomorrow as GF258 from Bahrain at 16:35 AEST. Gulf Air I presume?
