Government promised the airline R2 billion and another R2 billion was to come from lenders.

Specialists appointed to turnaround the national carrier say government has not yet provided its portion of the funds and the R2 billion from lenders has been exhausted. Chantal Marx, from FNB Wealth and Investment, explains the sales, “With regards to the sale of the airplanes, that is part of the business rescue process whereby they are just trying to strengthen the balance sheet a little bit. The company is absolutely drowning in debt and selling aeroplanes and parts is probably a smart way to remove some of the debt from the balance sheet, to bring some cash into the business and put it in a healthier position,” explains Marx.
