Comair fails to secure funding and suspends flights

African airline Comair, which has been operating British Airways and Kukula.com flights across Africa, announced it suspended all flights after failing to secure additional funding.

News regarding the flight suspension arose on May 31, 2022, after the ticket sales of British Airways and Kukula.com flights operated by Comair were suspended. Comair explained that it ran out of funds and failed to secure further investment.

“We deeply regret the inconvenience this suspension will cause our customers,” Comair chief executive Glenn Orsmond was cited in the airline’s statement. “We did everything we could to avoid it. 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.”
