You hit the nail on the head GJ! The shares were sold to a single entity which will probably be BEE but we don't know who it is yet. As for the load factors, in March we moved more passengers than ever before in the 60 year history of the company. The notion that Kulula is sinking the company is a strange one, seeing as this is where Comair is focussing its growth plans. The reason the MD's are possibly going to be phased out is the fuel burn factor. It is not a forgone conclusion that this will happen but it makes sense to go with newer, more economical aircraft with the fuel prices as they are. As for Airbus, unless you know something we don't, it is not likely. Comair is striving for fleet commonality not mixing it up even more.
