SA Express airline cleared to fly again
SA Express confirmed Thursday that it would restart its operations Aug 23. This announcement followed a statement by Public Enterprises minister Pravin Gordhan to Parliament’s Portfolio Committee on Public Enterprises Wednesday that the carrier would resume flying “next week”. The airline had been grounded by the South African Civil Aviation Authority (SACAA) in May, because an audit had “uncovered severe cases of non-compliance that pose serious safety risks”. Subsequently, SA Express was (in the airline’s words) subjected to a “stringent and rigorous process” to restore its standards to the levels required by the regulator. As a result, the SACAA reinstated the airline’s certification as an Aircraft Maintenance Organisation early last month. Subsequently, the regulator also reinstated SA Express’ AOC. <br/>
