In another blow for FlySafair, strike action could be on the horizon.

Budget airline FlySafair faced off with both the Air Service Licensing Council and its own pilot body in the same week.

In a drawn out hearing and deliberation process, the Air Service Licensing Council ruled late on Friday that the airline’s foreign ownership structure does not comply with current regulations. In an internal WhatsApp message, FlySafair chief executive Elmar Conradie said to staff that the council “has found that we are non-compliant, and they have advised us that they will share further communication around their sanction and their reasoning within 20 working days”.Conradie added: “This is obviously not the outcome we had hoped for, but it is to have some forward traction on this matter after a long wait.

FlySafair spokesperson Kirby Gordon said: “We wish to offer our customers assurance that this decision has no immediate impact on our operations as we pursue business as usual.”Strike looming for FlySafair?
