SAA Pilots Association rally behind airline ahead of restart The South African Airways Pilots Association (SAAPA) has committed rallying behind the ailing state airline as it prepares for fresh restart after years of malfeasance.
This week the National Treasury agreed that the government would support and source funding for a business rescue plan for South African Airways , which will result in the emergence of a new viable, sustainable and competitive national airline.
The SAAPA welcomed the rescue plan and hoped it would restore the airline and become profitable again. The association was criticized by the department for squeezing the “last resources” out of SAA by refusing to accept Voluntary Severance Packages. “The funding of the business rescue plan and the appointment of new management and board are equally crucial to this new era in the life of our 86 year old airline. To justify the public investment in SAA, the new fit for purpose management team must prioritise sustainability, profitability, good governance, transparency and accountability.
