Flying around SA just got more expensive – thanks to the grounding ... (Business Insider South Africa)

Flight prices around South Africa are increasing following Comair's grounding of Kulula and British Airways operations.

And as Comair's grounding pushes up prices on remaining airlines – not helped by the rising cost of jet fuel – South Africa's Competition Commission has, once again, raised the alarm. These prices were recorded in the early hours of the morning following Comair's announcement and then compared to fares on the same flights seven hours later. FlySafair's Friday flights between OR Tambo and Durban increased by 22% and remain stable in the week ahead. By the afternoon, that price had risen to R1,730, representing an increase of 53% in just seven hours. Comair, the BRPs and the lenders are working all out to get the funding in place so that we can resume our normal flight schedule as soon as possible," said Comair CEO, Glenn Orsmond, in a statement on Tuesday evening. Comair, which operates Kulula and British Airways (BA) flights, accounting for roughly 40% of the total airline capacity in South Africa, announced on Tuesday night that it had suspended operations.
