South Africa’s CemAir to resume services after 9 months
South African regional carrier CemAir is on the verge of restarting services following a 9-month hiatus and a bitter dispute with the country’s aviation regulator. The South African Civil Aviation Authority (SACAA) grounded CemAir for the second time in 2 months in January, most recently for what it described as “systemic failures of the airline’s maintenance controls.” CemAir challenged the move, and April 29 the Civil Aviation Appeal Committee overturned SACAA’s decision. “Despite the uncontested judgement, CemAir was unable to resume operations due to the natural annual expiry of the AOCs Jan 28," the airline said. “The SACAA’s website continues to display inflammatory media releases, the contents of which have been proven to be false and in contravention of the Civil Aviation Act," added the airline. <br/>
