SAA’ rescue on the brink as R10 billion fails to arrive In a statement issued on Thursday, the BRPs said Friday’s meeting would be used to plot the way forward to possibly avoid the liquidation of the national carrier

The South African Airways Business Rescue Practitioners and the airline’s creditors will on Friday hold an urgent meeting following government’s failed promise to provide the R10 billion bailout funding needed for the restructuring of SAA and the implementation of its business rescue plan.

“Accordingly, a meeting of creditors will be convened on September 18 at 11am to engage with affected persons on this issue and the proposed future of the company taking into account all relevant factors,” the statement reads. He said that the Department of Public Enterprises had made a formal application to National Treasury for the R10.4 billion required to bailout SAA. The funding has not materialised and more negotiations with the creditors are likely to take place tomorrow in order to buy time.

“This request will probably be motivated on the basis that negotiations with funders are at an advanced stage without divulging that the funders will yet again be taxpayers,” he said.
