Comair has announced the details of its fleet renewal programme, marking the next stage of the airline’s renewal strategy, which started in 2011.
The airline is scheduled to take delivery of the first eight Boeing 737 MAX 8s in early 2019, with the last one due in 2022. Erik Venter, CEO of Comair, says this will give Comair’s two airline brands, kulula.com and British Airways (operated by Comair), the benefits of increase seating capacity, lower operating costs and reduced downtime for maintenance.
“Comair already has the most modern and efficient fleet in SA, which increases our competitiveness,” says Venter. “The reasoning behind this investment goes to the core of the operating efficiency of our airline and non-airline brands. The airline business has very narrow margins, so to operate sustainably you need the right equipment, operating systems, levels of customer service and the right people.”
