update (09 June 2022): Comair has announced that it has reached agreement with South African regional carrier Airlink to accommodate passengers holding a British Airways (operated by Comair) flight for travel 07 – 12 June 2022. British Airways (operated by Comair) customers impacted by the temporary suspension of Comair services for the period have the option to rebook with Airlink at no additional cost, subject to availability. British Airways has also arranged for any of its international customers who had booked regional or domestic connecting flights with Comair, to be reaccommodated on South African Airways (SAA).

South African airline Comair, which operates the low-cost kulula brand and a local franchise of British Airways, has announced on Tuesday evening (31 May 2022) that it is obliged to voluntarily suspend all scheduled flights from 01 June 2022 until further notice pending successfully securing additional funding. Ticket sales have also stopped with immediate effect. The company’s business rescue practitioners (BRPs) have advised that the process to raise the necessary capital is in progress and that there is reason to believe such funding may be secured. Once received, Comair will be able to recommence operations. We'll keep you posted!
