Reply by Minister of Public Enterprises, B Hogan, on questions posed in the National Assembly for written reply

Question no.614

Mr M A Nhanha (Cope) to ask the Minister of Public Enterprises:

Whether the government will take any measures to facilitate the strategic alliance between South African Express and South African Airlink with South African Airways (SAA) to include other airlines to (a) help achieve equity, (b) promote competitiveness and (c) grow the industry; if not, why not; if so, what measures will her department take to facilitate the formation of such a strategic alliance?

Reply:

(a-c) Given that the South African domestic aviation industry is economically deregulated by virtue of the Air Services Act, 1990 (as amended), strategic alliances between airlines is a commercial matter.
