South Africa’s SA Express plans 30-day timetable to restore flights
Grounded South African regional airline SA Express has embarked on a 30-day program to try to get back into the air. Acting CE Matsietsi Mokholo has laid out the timetable for restoring the airline’s ability to operate. Following an audit of SA Express, the country’s regulator, the SACAA, suspended not only the airline’s air operator’s certificate May 24, but also its aircraft maintenance organisation certificate and the certificates of airworthiness for the entire, 22-strong fleet. SACAA did not provide details of its audit findings, but said it had 17 areas of concern, of which 5 were categorised as level 1, described as “severe non-compliance or non-conformance that poses a very serious safety or security risk to the public.” <br/>
