Fastjet Faces Regulatory Problems Changing Fleet

https://wolfganghthome.wordpress.com...ce-challenges/. /
It seems Nico Bezuidenhout is having as many problems in Tanzania and Zimbabwe as he did in SA, overcoming bureaucracy and protectionism. Both Tanzanian and Zimbabwean regulators are putting a lot of obstacles in the way of changing the fleet from A319 to E190. It's also possible that he was rather naive in thinking it would be easy to change his AOC in both countries where he is in commercial opposition to their state-owned airlines.
I wish him good luck - he's going to need lots (because cash is one thing FJ is very short of right now).
