"New SAA" - What will be different

The South African government is considering a business model which would see South African Airways (SAA) winded down and replaced with a new state-owned airline.

Speaking to the City Press, public enterprises spokesperson Richard Mantu said the department was looking at how this new national carrier could remain competitive and offer safe and high-quality service.

No thanks. You've lost 100% of my support. Was at 95%.

 

[Mariuspay]

What will be different? NOTHING!!!

 

[TheMightyQuin]

SAA is just a job agency, not an airline.

We will fund these unnecessary salaries until the end of days with our tax money.

 

[bwana]

Swallow your pride Dick. You don't need a flag carrier and SAA just proves you don't deserve one.

 

[Beri]

This will never de a good idea in SA. It will always fail. The government do not have the capability to run any company.

 

[Mekon]

Here's the first problem:

a new state-owned airline.

 

[C-I-A]

It too will die a slow, painful death..... history never fails to repeat itself.​

 

[WollieVerstege]

More aircraft from Comac?

Same old taxpayer funds wasted on vanity projects

Rather spend taxpayer money on health and education.

What will be different is that there will be some new piggies at the trough

 

[Fuzzbox]

still wont fly national carrier.
people will still vote with their wallets.
The mere fact that they say the new airline will BEE a job creator is scary.
they already have too many employees.

DIE ALREADY.

 

[Shadowchaser1]

Really??? Typical socialist way of thinking. Wow.

Some yes, but most of the big piggies will still dominate and want more and more, and eventually get replaced, when they get too fat and cant share all the gravy, and then the stronger pigs have grown and shove them out. Around and around, circle of gravy-train-SOE-employment-agencie's life.
CLOSE them, DO NOT recycle.

 

[Y'all Qaeda]

Will this new entity be created before SAA is completely dead? What's the bet that they buy these aircraft for inflated prices form SAA?

 

[Jola]

The government does not have the capability to run any company. anything.

Fixed.

Doesn't SAA lease all their aircraft, hence a proposed asset sale from the current liquidation being minimal cash inflow.
