More trouble for ‘NEW’ SAA as it loses licences to important routes.

South African Airway has reportedly lost 20 licences to routes that serve domestic and international passengers.
The Air Services Licensing Council (ASLC) revoked the licences after the troubled airline was unable to prove that it had sufficient personnel, facilities and equipment to service the routes, according to aviation analyst Phuthego Mojapele.
Speaking to ENCA, Mojapele said that the airline wished to keep access to 52 routes and made representations to the council but could not sufficiently justify having 20 of the licences when the routes were not in operation.
