Speech, that will go towards settling a portion of the outstanding obligations on the implementation of SAA’s 2020 Business Rescue Plan.According to Mhlontlo, the funds will be used to cover outstanding liabilities, specifically those relating to the final dividend payment to creditors and the refund of legacy un-flown tickets to affected passengers – which date back to the period when SAA was placed in business rescue in December 2019.
“SAA’s operations have progressed positively since the airline emerged from business rescue,” he said.Mhlontlo added: “SAA has reached a point where we cover our operating costs. It must be emphasised that the allocation announced relates only to historical debt. These funds are not meant to bolster the business plan we are currently executing.”
The allocation of R1 billion is a portion of the initial R3.5 billion that was required by SAA to pay off all debts that the Business Rescue practitioners had segregated into a Receivership. However, that figure has since been reduced. The total balance expected from National Treasury has been brought down to R2.586 billion.Mhlontlo said that the airline will continue to negotiate with National Treasury for the balance of the funds and cooperate with all the conditions that may accompany the flow of these funds.SAA had been facing financial difficulties for many years due to mismanagement, corruption and other factors.
In December 2019, the airline was placed under business rescue. The aim of business rescue was to save the airline from collapse by appointing a team of specialists to take control of the company’s affairs and restructure it in a way that would make it profitable again.
