SAA loan agreements must be made public following losses of R734 million in the past two months
27 June 2017
The meeting of the Finance Committee today was a complete shambles which revealed that SAA losses for the past two months totalled R734 million. This follows losses of R4.8 billion in the 2016/17 financial year.
However even more shocking was the fact that:
- Neither SAA nor National Treasury had a plan in place to meet the 30th of June 2017 deadline to deal with R9.0 billion worth of maturing loans.
- SAA has been in discussions with the Public Investment Corporation (PIC) about funding the national airline.
