LuganoPirateParticipantMorning Alex, the link went to a report on Ebola and the Congo? Gremlins at play no doubt!

Alex McWhirterParticipantSA Express expects to remain grounded for some time.
Its technicians are to be transferred to SAA temporarily.

Sort of sweeping the dirt under the carpet. I fear that things may not be much better at SAA, although until a year or so ago I would always have felt safe flying on them, with all the corruption and mismanagement/lack of management that went on during Dodo Myeni’s tenure and the culture of rot that set in, I would not have the same confidence now.
This is a mirror of events in the country, an ongoing tragedy caused by greed and corruption.

Alex McWhirterParticipantSA Civil Avaition Authority @OfficialSACAA tweeted this evening “South African Civil Aviation clears SA Express for take-off.”
No information on when SA Express will resume operations.
