South Africa : Transport Ministry Withholds Support for FlySafair Amid Foreign Ownership Concerns
On January 16, 2025, South Africa's Minister of Transport, Barbara Creecy, announced that her ministry would not intervene in FlySafair’s request for an exemption to prevent the suspension of its domestic flights. This response came after a formal request from FlySafair’s CEO, Elmar Conradie, who sought the ministry's assistance on January 9 while awaiting a final decision from the Air Services Licensing Council (ASLC).
