South Africans may fork out hundreds of millions more in bailouts as SA Airlink takes on SA Express

If it stays the state will have to fork out millions more in bailouts to shore up the bankrupt domestic and regional carrier

In the letter, Bowman Gilfillan’s Heather Manson said the decision to allow SA Express to fly to Luanda, Bulawayo and Gaborone would prejudice Airlink, the public and the international air service industry.Permits SA Express, which is not able to operate a safe and reliable international air service because it is bankrupt, to extend its current operations;

The company and the public will suffer immediate and irreparable prejudice if the decision were to be implemented pending the review, Manson said. A source with experience in the aviation sector said SA Express’ entire turnaround strategy was premised on getting access to international routes. In May last year the SA Civil Aviation Authority grounded SA Express following safety concerns, leaving hundreds of thousands of passengers in the lurch.

Aviation expert Guy Leitch said it appeared that SA Airlink’s chief executive Rodger Foster was attempting to use the council to eliminate competition. The source said that the sooner SA Express crashes, the quicker government would incorporate it into SAA.

Or fly with a different airline. We are tired of paying for mismanagement and lack of leadership.

The stealing remains in full flight. It is the black elite's time to eat, as the saying goes. Anybody still remember the names Jacob Zuma and Dudu Mnyeni? Time is a-passing and these bosses of the underworld will be ancient history, older than land theft, when Zondo is finished.

This is an insult to taxpayers
