During a recent African Airline Congress in Abidjan, our brothers and sisters at the SACAA came under discussion. It was very clear that the global airline industry was beginning to loose face/faith with our SA Counterparts in the Pretoria CAA.
Security, safety, training, education and transfer of skill was some of the key issues raised. ICAO & IATA representatives expressed their concern also.
As fellow aviation regulators, we can only wish that the SACAA will learn from the mistakes made in Zimbabwe, Ghana, DRC etc, and not do the same.
I wish you good luck!
