Sale of FlySafair under fire

• The proposed acquisition of Safair Holdings by Harith Aviation has been put on hold due to concerns over potential overlapping ownership interests.
• The transaction would see Harith acquire Safair from its current owner, the Irish aviation services company ASL Aviation Holdings, with the Competition Commission recommending certain conditions to be met.
• The Competition Tribunal is set to communicate its final decision on the acquisition at a later date, amid concerns from the South African Cabin Crew Association about job security and consultation.
