THE South African Civil
Aviation Authority
reinstated South African
Express’s Air Operator
Certificate (AOC) on July 26,
clearing the airline for takeoff,
but the airline has yet to
confirm when it will resume
operations.
Nine of the carrier’s 21
aircraft were suspended for
failure to comply with the
requirements for AOC and
AMO (Aircraft Maintenance
Organisation) certification.
The CAA reinstated the
AMO certification just over
a month ago and the airline
has also got Certificates of
Airworthiness for two of its
aircraft.
For now, SAA, Mango Airlines
and Airlink’s schedules, which
were put in place to support
the SAX network, will continue
to operate until further notice.
The CAA told TNW that
the timeline for determining
the airworthiness of the
remainder of SAX’s aircraft
would depend on when the
airline was able to present
the aircraft for the certification
process.
