Ruling: Flysafair Services To Continue Uninterrupted

FlySafair has confirmed that its operations will continue without disruption following a recent ruling by the Air Services Licensing Council ASLC.

While the ASLC has issued sanctions regarding a technical interpretation of nationality provisions, it has given the carrier 12 months to comply and will require monthly progress reports.

This follows the ASLCs finding that FlySafair did not meet the Air Services Licensing Act requirement that 75 of an airlines voting rights be held by natural persons who are citizens and residents of South Africa.

According to FlySafair, the issue remains a regulatory discussion around shareholding rather than an operational concern and flights will proceed as scheduled.

At this stage, we are pleased that there is no threat to operations and that we can turn our full attention to our customers, said Kirby Gordon , Chief Marketing Officer at FlySafair. Customers can continue booking and flying with confidence, knowing that FlySafair remains fully operational while we address this matter.
