Africa’s State-owned airlines underperforming

State-owned airlines in Africa are not operating at the capacity they should be, says Boeing sub-Saharan Africa MD Miguel Santos. Speaking to Engineering News Online on the sidelines of the Airlines Association of Southern Africa’s forty-seventh annual general assembly, in KwaZulu-Natal, he noted that, in South Africa, there were major problems with the national carrier, but that private carriers, such as Comair and FlySafair, were doing well and growing.
