The commission said the merger does not raise any other substantial public interest concerns and so the Competition Tribunal would now consider its recommendations and make a decision on the deal.
. In a statement, the commission said if the merger went ahead with Global Aviation and Syranix, which co-owns the LIFT trademark, as minority shareholders of Takatso, the SAA deal would decrease competition in the domestic passenger airlines market.
“To remedy this concern, the commission and the parties have now agreed to a divestiture condition in terms of which Global Aviation and Syranix will completely divest from Takatso prior to the merger’s implementation.”
