ICYMI: Comair planes grounded indefinitely over safety concerns. MoneywebNews
What was supposed to be a 24-hour grounding of Comair planes over safety issues on Saturday was extended indefinitely on Sunday following the airline failing to address findings communicated to it by the South African Civil Aviation Authority . Comair flies under the British Airways and Kulula brands. This is the latest calamity to befall the airline, which was placed in business rescue in 2020 as a result of government-imposed travel restrictions at the onset of Covid-related lockdowns.
The regulator says continuous improvement is a principle it will work hard at elevating as it ensures that aviation remains the safest mode of transport in this country. “This discipline in ensuring high levels of compliance with civil aviation safety and security is demonstrated by the continuous prestigious performance of South Africa in international safety and security assessments,” says the SACAA statement.
