“The best way we can assist our customers is to start flying again. Our operations, airport, contact centres and support teams are working to help customers get to their destinations. We’re ramping up our schedule and should have our regional and domestic services restored by tomorrow, ahead of the long weekend,” says Comair CEO, Glenn Orsmond.
Comair’s operating certificate was suspended by the SACAA on Saturday (12 March 2022), as a precautionary measure. After an extensive review of Comair’s documentation by the SACAA over a five-day period, the suspension has now been lifted.
Orsmond emphasised that no findings were made regarding either flight operations or maintenance.
“Comair has an enviable 76-year track record. We operate some of the most modern aircraft in South African skies, apply global best practice to ensure operational safety and our crew training is world-class.”
He says even while the airline was not flying it had done its best to assist customers. This included chartering wide-bodied aircraft and accommodating customers on other airlines where it was able to do so.
