ISSUE
South African Airways
The demonopolisation of South African Airways (SAA), exposing the airline industry to competition, has made the flag carrier at best a redundant and at worst a parasitical leech on taxpayers. Continued tax funding of SAA amounts to the poor subsidising the air-travelling wealthy. The airline should be privatised or liquidated.
Austerity
A panacea for SAA?
Many details would have to be worked out, but the principle remains: a new company, flying SA’s colours, able to compete against other international airlines and make a profit.
