is set to be liquidated because its business rescue practitioners believe that the aviation company has no reasonable prospects of being rescued.

Comair’s business rescue seemed to have been heading on the path of success after a group of investors — including former Comair directors, one of whom is Martin Moritz, and an investment vehicle, Luthier Capital — injected R500-million into the company to take over its ownership and fund its business rescue process. Additional funding of R1.4-billion has also been secured from commercial banks.
