Rossair Trouble?
Figures that are being discussed seem to be in the magnitude of R500M and maybe more!! It seems that the word is out in the industry that there is BIG trouble in the camp. The knock-on effect of an operator as large as Rossair shutting down is going to have ramifications throughout the local charter and airline industry as well as the international relief community. Very, very sad and we wish them well in their efforts to keep the show going.
At Lanseria, Transafrican Aviation has had its doors closed. Whilst none of us want a 'Zimbabwean currency' the strong Rand is killing a lot of SA industry and the aviation side is being extremely hard hit. Fingers crossed for things to turn around!!
