Forget consolidating, why did they expand to Lanseria in the first place? They only have only been operating from FALA for 3 months and they are already leaving, and on the Durban route they last only 6 weeks before canning the route. Was any market research done to see if their customer had any interest?

Scheduled routes take time and money to establish. LCC require high load factors to break even. To be the third carrier on a well serviced route and expect to fill the aircraft from the get go is just unrealistic.

There is no plan, its just desperation. Sadly 1time is about outa time.
