    Report Coverage

    This report is on the air transport industry and aviation ground-handling services in South Africa. It includes comprehensive information on the size and state of the sector, flight, passenger and cargo volumes, the performance and state of notable players, corporate actions and developments. There are profiles of 44 companies including state-owned SAA and Air Traffic and Navigation Services, international airlines such as Qantas and Singapore Airlines, African airlines such as Ethiopian Airlines, ground handling companies including NAS Colossal Aviation Services and Swissport South Africa and cargo-handling companies such as Menzies Aviation and Bidair Cargo.

    The Air Transport Industry and Aviation Ground-Handling Services in South Africa

    The passenger and cargo air transport industry has been brought to the brink of collapse during two years of the pandemic. Its recovery, although underway, has been hampered by high ticket prices due to the collapse of airlines which has reduced the industry’s capacity, and soaring fuel prices. With the failure of airlines such as Comair, SAA and SA Express and the grounding of low-cost airlines, the air transport landscape has changed significantly. FlySafair, Airlink and CemAir have strengthened their positions. Air cargo airlines have recovered more quickly than passenger airlines, while private business jet airlines have also experienced growth.

    Reduced Seats

    The suspension of flights by various airlines reduced the size of the scheduled flights industry. SAA has resumed flights with eight aircraft compared to 28 in 2019, and only three domestic routes. The suspension of Comair’s operations in May 2022 meant a further 12 British Airways and 10 Kulula aircraft were grounded. While CemAir and FlySafair have expanded their fleets, the industry is still substantially smaller than it was at the beginning of 2019.

    Competition

    Commentators believe that South African air passenger transport is entering a period of level playing fields after generations in which state-owned airlines enjoyed a privileged position. A number of collapsed airlines have blamed the favoured position of state-owned airlines for their failures. As the entire industry is smaller, there are a number of secondary routes in which carriers have a monopoly.

    Report Coverage

    This report focuses on the air transport industry and aviation ground-handling services in South Africa including airlines, airports and an array of support services such as air traffic and navigation services and ground handling. It includes comprehensive information on the size and state of the sector, air cargo, arrivals and departures, the aircraft register, airports, performance of major players and corporate actions. There are profiles of 40 companies including airlines such as SAA and Comair, airport operator Airports Company South Africa, companies involved in aircraft leasing such as Global Aviation Operations and companies involved in ground handling such as Menzies Aviation and Swissport.

    The Air Transport Industry and Aviation Ground-Handling Services in South Africa

    The lockdown that started in March 2020 grounded thousands of aircraft globally and severed air service connections worldwide. Passenger departures from South African airports plunged by almost 80% in 2020 and revenues generated by the air transport industry and its value chain almost halved. Although the reopening of the skies has brought a measure of relief, aviation has been dealt a harder blow than most other sectors and is in crisis.

    Passenger Transport

    A substantial reduction in air travel left South Africa’s air transport industry in financial crisis, resulting in liquidations and business rescues, staff layoffs, salary reductions, unpaid leave and retrenchments. Affected airlines included SAA and SA Express, which were already in financial crisis, Mango, and Comair. Companies finding opportunities in the crisis included FlySafair and CemAir, which extended their services and Lift, which started flying in December 2020.

    Airports and Aviation Services

    Revenue shortfalls are expected to delay the implementation of several airport infrastructure projects such as taxiways, aprons and terminal work at OR Tambo and the new realigned runway and upgrades to the international and domestic terminals at Cape Town. Operationally, 2020 was an extremely challenging year for airport operators and aviation service providers, including cargo handlers and ground handlers.

    Report Coverage

    This report focuses on the air transport industry, including passenger and cargo services, and airport ground handling services including operation of airports, flying fields and air navigation facilities, and excluding manufacturing. It includes information on the state and size of the industry and factors that influence it. This includes trends in flight and passenger movements, corporate actions in South Africa and on the continent, and regulation and competition issues. There are profiles of 40 companies in the sector including the beleaguered SAA, airlines such as Comair, Mango and Safair, and service operators such as BidAir and Swissport.

    Air Transport and Air Ground Handling Services

    The air transport industry is a major contributor to the South African economy as it facilitates the movement of passengers and cargo to, from and within the country. Air transport and foreign tourists travelling by air contribute 3.2% of GDP. Local industry developments are dominated by the business rescue of national carrier South African Airways (SAA) and the liquidity crisis of its subsidiary SA Express. SAA, SA Express and SAA Technical are included in the commission of inquiry into state capture, corruption and fraud in the public sector. Travel restrictions, airport closures and flight cancellations following the global outbreak of the coronavirus are reducing global air passenger and cargo volumes.

    Multiple Headwinds

    The sector continues to be affected by the economy, the highly competitive domestic airline environment and operational and sustainability challenges. Stringent visa requirements and the relatively limited number of air services agreements hinder the country’s ability to attract international travel. Aviation continues to be affected by capacity constraints due to the delay in the rollout of airport expansion projects. Airports, ground handling and support services are experiencing high operational cost increases including security. SAA, which employs more than 5,000 people and has a fleet of more than 50 aircraft, is in business rescue and has cancelled numerous flights. Its losses total R28bn over the past 13 years and it has not presented government with a financial report since the 2017 financial year. Government has spent R16.5bn in bailouts over the past ten years and is to repay SAA’s outstanding government guaranteed debt of R9.2bn over the next three years.

    Report Coverage

    This report focuses on the scheduled air transport industry, including passenger and cargo services, and airport ground handling services including the operation of airports, flying fields and air navigation facilities. Profiles for 35 local and international companies active in the air transport sector are provided, ranging from British Airways subsidiary, Comair Ltd t/a kulula.com to Solenta Aviation (Pty) Ltd which in January 2017 acquired a 28% stake in Fastjet plc, the parent firm of Tanzanian LCC Fastjet and its Fastjet Zimbabwe sister carrier. Also provided are profiles for seven airport operators including market leader, Airports Company South Africa SOC Ltd t/a ACSA.

    Air Transport and Airport Ground Handling Services

    Aviation is a key part of the economic lifeblood of South Africa, transporting people and goods across and outside the country, and stimulating economic activity, job creation, tourism and trade. Research indicates that 482,453 aircraft movements, 41.5 million passengers and 110,000 tonnes of cargo contribute approximately R50bn to South African GDP. According to the Department of Transport, South Africa has 135 licensed airports located throughout the country. In this sector, the state-owned South African company, Air Traffic and Navigation Services (ATNS), oversees 11% of the world’s airspace.

    Challenging Conditions

    National carrier South African Airways (SAA) is experiencing an extremely volatile and controversial period and is confronted by numerous challenges, including poor governance and maladministration. At the same time, its subsidiary, South African Express has been grounded. Added to these problems are the competition from low-cost carriers and rapidly increasing costs which include higher oil prices and high labour costs. Of concern to local players is the emergence of big players on the African continent which has had a negative impact on SAA’s role as a travel hub into Africa. African players such as EgyptAir, Ethiopian Airlines and Kenya Airways are taking market share on the continent, while international players such as Qatar Airways, Etihad and Emirates pose a more serious threat.

    Report Coverage

    This report focuses on the civil aviation industry in South Africa, within the broader context of intra-African and international air transportation. The sector includes the scheduled air transport industry, which comprises both passenger and cargo services, as well as the charter flight industry and general recreational aviation activities. Airport ground handling, described by some stakeholders as the ‘step-child of the aviation industry’, also falls within the scope of this report, which investigates the local market, recent developments and factors influencing the success of the industry. The report profiles a wide spectrum of notable players in the industry, including the black female-owned and operated SRS Aviation (Pty) Ltd and the fledgling low-cost airline, Fly Blue Crane.

    Air Transport and Airport Ground Handling Services

    With unmanned aerial vehicles taking to the skies in increasing numbers, the civilian air transport industry finds itself navigating through unchartered airspace. The International Air Transport Association (IATA) has warned that drones have emerged as "a real and growing threat" to civilian aircraft safety. Addressing an aviation conference in Singapore, Tony Tyler, the Director General and CEO of IATA commented, "I am as excited as you are about the prospect of having pizza delivered by a drone, but we cannot allow drones to be a hindrance or safety threat to commercial aviation." Mr Tyler emphasised that the threat to the safety of civilian aircraft was real. In January 2016, the United Kingdom Air Proximity Board reported that there were four near-miss incidents involving drones at airports in the United Kingdom, including a narrowly averted collision between a drone and a Boeing 737. In South Africa, the recent crash landing of a drone at Eskom’s Koeberg Nuclear Power Station, north of Cape Town, has brought the issue into sharp focus. Adding to this emergent threat is the escalation of geopolitical tensions and acts of terrorism.

    Opportunities and Challenges

    South Africa, notwithstanding its ‘end-of-hemisphere’ location, has emerged as a key regional air transport hub, connecting Southern African nations to other cities on the continent, as well as to international destinations and markets across the globe. With oversight of more than a tenth of the world’s airspace, South Africa also plays a vital role as custodian of the southern skies. As an economic multiplier, the South African civil aviation industry supports tourism, trade, commerce and industry, both domestically and beyond the nation’s borders. Some companies operating in the sector are involved in ground-breaking research in the field of aviation bio-fuel development, while others are engaged in the development of innovative applications for remotely piloted drones. South Africa’s airport network serves as a gateway into sub-Saharan Africa’s developing economies, where opportunities for charter flight operators and helicopter services, training service providers, as well as airport ground handlers are plentiful. The nation’s national flag carrier, South African Airways (SAA), is the leading airline in Africa and, as a member of Star Alliance, is part of the world’s largest international airline network. However, Africa’s aviation landscape is changing rapidly and SAA, which currently finds itself mired in debt, scandals and controversy, is facing robust challenges to its regional dominance. Despite a measure of relief offered by lower aviation fuel prices and the relaxation of certain obstructive visa conditions, many of South Africa’s private airlines remain under pressure, as they try to carve a niche in an industry characterised by anti-competitive practices.
