SA Civil Aviation Authority lifts SA Express’ suspension
South African Civil Aviation Authority (SACAA) on Sunday said it had lifted the suspension of SA Express’ Air Operator Certificate (AOC).
“This means that the airline may, with immediate effect, resume operating their fleet of 26 aircraft,” said SACAA in a statement.
The lifting of the suspension came a day after SA Express’ AOC privileges were temporarily withdrawn by SACAA, which said recent inspections and audits revealed deficiencies relating to the operator’s safety monitoring systems.
“Following several and intensive engagements between the airline and the Regulator; SA Express provided the SACAA with a revised corrective action plan, which upon perusal and consideration was found to address the major concerns that were raised by the Regulator,” said SACAA.
“The SACAA will still continue to monitor and oversee the full implementation of SA Express’ corrective action plan. The SACAA will also intensify its oversight of the airline’s entire operation.”
SACAA said oversight inspections and audits by regulators were done on a sample basis, and operators need to make sure they have adequate safety management systems in place.
“South Africans can be assured that their country’s aviation safety and security standards meet, and in some instances, exceed the minimum global requirements, and thus compares favourably in terms of alignment with the best international standards and practices.”
