Whether or when the closed routes will be opened is a decision only the business rescue practitioners can make
The government is hoping that some of the domestic routes cancelled by SAA will be reinstated sooner rather than later, public enterprises minister Pravin Gordhan has said.
“We want a firmed up route network plan sooner rather than later because that gives everybody certainty that SAA is operating on particular routes,” Gordhan told Business Day on Wednesday. Last month, the practitioners announced that the airline would cancel all domestic flights, except for a reduced service to Cape Town, as well as some international and regional flights, at the end of February in a bid to further cut costs.
In 2019, SAA entered business rescue, a form of bankruptcy protection aimed at rehabilitating a financially distressed company, after several years of operational losses and government bailouts that have exposed SA’s fiscal constraints.
