Minister Lynne Brown’s comment on Civil Aviation Authority's steps against SA Express

I have noted the decision by the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) to temporarily suspend SA Express' Air Operator Certificate.

I am providing all the necessary support to management of SA Express to resolve this matter.

Therefore I have tasked the Department's Director-General, Mr Mogokare Seleke, to lead talks with the CAA to resolve this matter.

Finally, as Shareholder Representative of SA Express, I apologise to passengers who have been inconvenienced by the suspension of the company's certificate. I wish to refer them to the SA express offices and website www.flyexpress.aero for measures the airline has put in place to deal with enquiries.
