Comair has made a deal with Airlink to help out passengers holding British Airways (operated by Comair) flights on certain dates.

BA customers affected by Comairs suspension can rebook with Airlink, subject to availability.

Good news for those who responded to Kulula’s 30% off one-day sale last Tuesday, only to discover that all flights were suspended indefinitely from that night: they will be refunded by the end of this week.

Comair's British Airways ticket holders have been offered seats aboard Airlink flights, while those who jumped at Kulula's special sale have been promised refunds this week.

Tuesday’s meeting comes amid fears of a jobs bloodbath after Comair announced the indefinite suspension of all Kulula and British Airways flights due to liquidity issues.

NUMSA continues to call for the resignation of Comair CEO, Glen Orsmond and the airline's Business Rescue Practitioner, Richard Ferguson.

This follows a tense stakeholder meeting with unions, Comair’s CEO Glenn Orsmond and the business rescue practitioners at the airline’s Kempton Park offices on Tuesday afternoon where the struggling airline’s fate was discussed.

The removal of Comair's flights seem to have put a squeeze on flights to the Eastern Cape and Durban, according to a snap survey done by Fin24.
