Comair obtains interdict against ASLC

Comair has obtained an interdict against the South African Air Services Licensing Council (ASLC) from revoking its Domestic Air Services License.

The carrier faced the suspension of its operations pending the results of an ASLC decision regarding its compliance with foreign ownership laws.
The ASLC was unable to provide Comair with a guarantee in its intentions during a follow up meeting, leading to the carrier taking legal action.
“Comair obtained an interdict against the ASLC from potentially revoking its license at any time prior to the scheduled interdict hearing set down for Tuesday, May 17. Thereafter Comair will have the opportunity to take the decision of the ASLC regarding Comair’s shareholding on review," said representatives from Comair.
