More woes for embattled CemAir

[schumi]

Cape Town – The CemAir airline can no longer operate as an airline or air operator or fly any of its 21 aircraft, the South African Civil Aviation Authority (Sacaa) announced last night.
The suspension of the airline’s air operator certificates (AOCs) became effective on Thursday when the airline was notified of Sacaa’s decision.


The aviation authority's audit team has also recommended to the director of Civil Aviation to revoke CemAir’s AOCs. The affected AOCs relate to the operator’s permits issued under Part 121 and Part 135 of the Civil Aviation Regulations.


CemAir had until on Thursday to provide Sacaa with valid reasons why the certificate should not be revoked.


The airline allegedly contravened the Civil Aviation Act, and five other Sacaa regulations, according to Sacaa inspectors following a permit renewal audit.

Johannesburg – CemAir's urgent application to overturn the South African Aviation Authority's latest suspension and grounding notice has been dismissed with costs, the regulator said on Thursday.

Cemair had been suspended late in 2018, and again early in January 2019 while SACAA conducted a full audit of the airline.

It is impossible for small airlines to be profitable in SA. What with the tax payer subsidised SAA et al drowning out the market and intrenching a monopoly on profitable routes.
