Government discussing ACSA's R11bn recovery plan request – Mbalula

R11 billion financial assistance plan for Mbalula was speaking at a press briefing at OR Tambo International Airport, where Acsa was showcasing its readiness to reopen domestic flights and flights to Durban and Cape Town in June.

In phase two, the Braam Fisher, Kruger and Polokwane airports would be reopened, while phase three would see the Kimberley, Upington, Port Elizabeth and East London airports reopen. Mbalula also said the sector had been hamstrung, with Comair – the operators of British Airways and Kulula – the latest to enter business rescue because of the Covid-19 coronavirus.

He said flights could not be compared to buses and minibus taxis, which are only allowed 70% of their capacity under lockdown regulations, because they did not have the high-efficiency particulate air filter.
