The newly formed Southern Africa Aviation Advisory Board has got off to a fine start. We now have a solid working group of 15 experienced aviation professionals from various sectors, and from as far afield as Canada and Germany. All the members have African roots. In addition we have 35 members who have indicated a desire to assist where possible.
We are united in our love for aviation and our belief that we can create a better aviation future.The members are committed to staying in touch with developments in the industry, both locally and internationally.
The Board will make itself available to provide advice on aviation matters affecting the region, assist in aviation research projects, engage in topical conversations, and also intends to publish viewpoints on current aviation affairs. The subject matter expertise currently onboard includes Air Traffic, Training, Airports, Airlines, Tourism, Regulatory Affairs, Consulting, Security, and Publishing.
At this time the team is shortlisting the critical issues which the Board wants to focus on in the near-term. These include the reboot of air services, collaboration with associated industries, and the overall aviation education and training landscape.
We invite interested professionals who wish to participate in any way to get in touch with us.
We are also prospecting for possible sponsors.

Save SA Aviation
Is now the time to form an SA Aviation advisory board in a bid to save the remnants of the industry. It is going to take a concerted harmonised effort to put the industry back on track and consequently also help to rescue tourism to some extent. Consisting of solid experienced aviation buffs from all disciplines. I am pretty sure that they are out there and at this time have the space to put in some effort.
The overall brief could be "How to reactivate a healthy aviation industry in Southern Africa within the envelope of major pandemic and economic distress". Examples of the questions needing to be covered (in no particular order) would be airport distancing, charter permissions, private flying, subsidies, capacity caps, role of government, open skies, temporary relief of non-safety related regulations.
An example of the crazy current scenario is that Gautrain can operate but airlines cannot. It appears to be a function of the airports rather than the aircraft.
Another crazy is that government wants to ceate a new national carrier from the ground up whilst being unwilling to support existing successful entities.
