Airports Company South Africa is changing operations at its airports to ensure that Russian aircraft – which are sanctioned by Western governments – can still refuel in this country.
During the two incidents when Russian aircraft landed last year, “the fuel consortium and through-putters could not refuel the aircraft, citing sanctions imposed by their countries of origin and their own internal policies”, he said.So now Acsa was planning to separate the oil companies from the refuellers and “through-putters” by creating its own independent refuelling and through-putting company.
“Refusal by Fuel Consortium and/or Through-Putters to refuel aircraft from sanction countries will be averted.” Giving the refuel and through-putting contract to a new independent operator would “deal with a scenario where a sanctioned friend of the South African government needs servicing and refuelling”, Mpofu’s Powerpoint presentation said.
Time to stand up against South Africa’s support of Russia - guilty of so many human rights violations. How hypocritical can we be?
Who's the CEO of ACSA?
I understand that our dying economy needs our BRICS partners... including Russia (very hard to accept) to survive. Can't we be a bit more discreet? Russia is after all a very cruel aggressor and does not even show any loyalty and compassion to their own troops.
