Podcasts about Comair

Why are airline tickets so expensive in South Africa? Could it be that the closure of Kulula, Mango, SA Express, and Comair-operated British Airways flights has seen a real shortage of seats, giving the remaining airlines an excuse to jack up prices?

Thank you for tuning into this episode of Pagecast, presented by Jonathan Ball Publishers. Today's episode features Crash and Burn by Glenn Orsmond. This insider's tale, narrated by Glenn Orsmond, chronicles the South African airline industry over the past thirty years, highlighting the dramatic collapse of Comair in 2022. Orsmond, twice the CEO of Comair and founder CEO of 1time, guides readers through the fiercely competitive low-cost airline sector that surged after the 1990s. Comair, operating Kulula and British Airways, and 1time led this wave, transforming domestic flying and tourism. Despite a 75-year profit history, Comair fell due to the pandemic, regulatory issues, and poor management decisions. Expect stories of industry legends, innovations, fierce competition, pilot-accountant conflicts, union-boss disputes, and shareholder-director battles. In this episode, Glenn engages in a captivating conversation with David O'Sullivan, Broadcaster, Writer and Media Consultant. Enjoy!

Three news stories summarized & contextualized by analytic journalist Colin Wright.Damaged undersea cables disrupting Africa's internet will take weeks to repairSummary: Following reports of widespread internet outages across Nigeria, Ghana, Senegal, and Côte d'Ivoire on March 14, Ghana's National Communications Authority has said it could take up to five weeks to fully restore service to the region because of damage to the undersea cables that connect these nations to the internet.Context: Undersea cables are fundamental components of global internet traffic, and they're regularly damaged by accident, and in some rarer cases, intentionally; the companies that manage internet services in this part of Africa have said that some kind of “external incident” resulted in a cut to these cables, and while some of these services were able to reroute their traffic to undamaged lines, other areas remain partially or entirely blacked out for the moment, and this has disrupted civilian traffic, but also more fundamental economic services, like online banking operations.—SemaforOne Sentence News is a reader-supported publication.

STORY OF THE WEEK

For many external observers, airline veteran Gidon Novick personified the best chance of a turnaround for teetering South African Airways and saving at least some of the billions injected by taxpayers. But the former CEO of Comair and co-founder of Lift this week announced his resignation as a director of the Takatso consortium which is negotiating to acquire 51% of SAA. Forthright as ever, Novick says his team brought airline expertise to the consortium and invested heavily over 18 months in compiling a project plan – but despite its 20% shareholding was “kept in the dark”. He spoke to Alec Hogg of BizNews. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

In this episode Jason Rowlett talked with Jad Comair about his innovative DAO, the Bored Yacht Club. Mr. Comair is the CEO of Melanion Capital and started BYC as a way to expose more people to yachting. Members of the BYC rent their yachts to prospective lessees and the funds collected are used to support charities that clean and improve oceans. BCCN3 article: CEO Launches 'Bored Yacht Club'.

During the worst of the insanity in SA's airline sector, Miles vd Molen's Cemair stopped servicing the industry's Joburg/CT/Durban 'golden triangle' as it realised how first taxpayer (SAA) and then creditor's capital (Comair) was used to subsidise travellers in an attempt to bludgeon competitors into bankruptcy. Now that those market's distortions are over, Cemair has invested heavily and with a significantly increased fleer recently returned to servicing SA's three biggest airports. Its capacity has risen four-fold (1m passengers annually) from the pre-Covid number of 250 000. And there is lots more growth to come, not just in SA, but also in neighbouring countries as it secures licences to expand flights into neighbouring countries. Entrepreneur Van der Molen, a pilot himself, explains how Cemair waited seven years for the market to normalise and is now expanding aggressively (but he says sustainably) into the vacuum left by the demise of Comair and dramatic down-sizing of SAA.

Die metaalwerkersvakbond Numsa en die Suid-Afrikaanse Kajuitpersoneelvereniging is ontsteld oor die besluit van die Suid-Gautengse Hooggeregshof om SA Express te likwideer. Die staatsbeheerde lugdiens is sedert sy voorlopige likwidasie in April 2020, buite aksie na mislukte pogings om dit te red. Die likwidasie van SA Express volg kort nadat die plaaslike lugdiens Comair in Junie gesluit het. Die woordvoerder van Numsa, Phakamile Hlubi-Majola, sê hulle veroordeel die Departement van Openbare Ondernemings vir sy aandeel in die vernietiging van die lugdiens:

The Competition Commission is investigating three (yes, three, that's all it takes) complaints that South Africa's domestic airlines are overcharging since the collapse of Comair at the end of May. Air travel expert and consultant Linden Birns tell Peter Bruce in this edition of Podcasts from the Edge that he doubts the investigation will find much to complain about. The Russian invasion of Ukraine has pushed the price of jetfuel to $151 a barrel, a full 78% higher than it was a year ago. What's an airline to do? As it is, with SAA a shadow of its former self, no SA Express, no Mango, no Kulula, no British Airways there's about 35% less capacity domestically now, says Birns. Yes, there might of been periods when our skies have been overtraded but whether there's room for a new airline, or whether the current players add capacity the fact is demand is growing.

Alex lives and sweats the travel chaos, trying to get to Valencia with Vueling (what was he thinking?!) with an epic (FAIL) journey that ended up with Easyjet saving the day. Paul develops some Apple AirTag anxiety. The A380 is back with a vengeance, though Tim Clark wishes he had a two-engine 380, or a 350-2000, or anything BIG (meanwhile his ticket prices are soaring faster than aircrafts). COVID is kinda back too (it never left) but the travel world won't use that C-word to not jinx it all. Alitalia pilots mistake JFK for Naples at rush hour. No more BA livery in South Africa after the demise of Comair, but BA has more issues to think about for now (ground personnel strikes, fuel delivery strikes, and more strikes, on top of staff shortages). Also, in which country is Corsica?Enjoy nearly two hours of #avgeek stories between Alex and Paul — not sure when we'll record next, Alex being in holidays, but hopefully sometime before end-July.
