Tourism minister Lindiwe Sisulu says the imminent closure of Comair will damage tourism in the country. File photo.Tourism minister Lindiwe Sisulu said on Thursday the imminent closure of airline operator Comair was unfortunate and will hurt tourism in the country.
Comair, which grounded its British Airways and Kulula flights a week ago because of a funding crunch, has failed to raise the cash it needs to return to the air. Its business rescue practitioners said on Thursday the requisite funding could not be raised for the company to continue with its operations. They said they no longer believe there is a reasonable prospect that the company can be rescued.
“This development is really unfortunate, especially at the time when we are making progress in terms of the recovery of our sector. This essentially results in a limited distribution network where there is limited capacity for both domestic and international travellers to reach and explore the length and breadth of our beautiful country,” Sisulu said.“We hope the grounding of Comair flights does not result in other airlines raising their prices.
