The South African airline Comair has to suspend all scheduled flights again. For the time being, flight operations are to be suspended until at least July 30, 2021. The background is that the government wants to stop all unnecessary trips due to the corona pandemic.

Comair operates as a franchisee under the British Airways brand. Furthermore, a low-cost offer is maintained under the Kulula brand. The fleet consists of a total of 27 aircraft. There are four Boeing 737-400s, one 737 Max 8, and 22 737-800s. In addition, six Boeing 737-Max-8s are about to be delivered.

During the entire course of the corona pandemic, South African airlines had to suspend operations several times. Airlines are currently having a hard time, as many countries are banning passenger flights that have started in South Africa. The background is the so-called South Africa mutation.
