South African regulator grounds CemAir
The South African Civil Aviation Authority (SACAA) has suspended regional carrier CemAir from operating, following what it called “unacceptable and intolerable behavior” that posed a threat to safety. The airline’s Part 121 and Part 135 air operator’s certificates (AOCs) have been suspended, with the SACAA recommending to the country’s director of civil aviation the AOCs should be revoked. The suspension became effective at around 15:30 local time on Dec. 13, when the airline was notified of the SACAA’s decision. The airline said it “adamantly rejects the reasons offered by the CAA for their decision” and accused it of “malicious intent … to bring CemAir to its knees.”<br/>
