South African flight calamity — warnings about widespread delays and safety concerns

South Africa faces widespread flight delays and safety concerns due to regulatory failures at Air Traffic and Navigation Services (ATNS). Outgoing Airlink CEO Roger Foster describes the situation as a calamity.

Although transport minister Barbara Creecy said progress is being made in addressing the issues, there are still significant challenges with flight procedures relating to the instruments used for arrivals and take-offs.
 
Just make all planes crash into each other mid-air! they are unsafe redundant tech.
 
So, clickbait then...

Although transport minister Barbara Creecy said progress is being made in addressing the issues, there are still significant challenges with flight procedures relating to the instruments used for arrivals and take-offs.

The ATNS failed to meet administrative deadlines in reviewing hundreds of crucial instrument flight procedures in South Africa, and urgent intervention is required to address these failures.
Speaking to 702, Foster said the issues aren’t new. They have been brewing for at least the past three years.
 
So, clickbait then...

You left out all the 'Good News, Everyone!', 'Dark Clouds Looming', 'Bad News, Everyone!', 'Kissing Goodbye' & 'SABC TV Licence Restructuring Bill / Digital Migration Delay' headlines being regurgitated ad nauseum on a daily, sometimes even hourly basis as well by the myBB AI bots... ;)

this is 100% true, but a website like MYBB does not stay online without adverts and/or donations,
look at carbonite asking for donations all the time, not sure about the grotto, how they sustained themselves.

forums cost money, software costs money, and unfortunately they got to pay for all of it somehow.
