In light of the difficult outlook for operations north of the Limpopo River, the Group has now turned its attention to the South African market where, earlier this year, it commenced the process of exercising its option to acquire local carrier and brand licensee, Federal Air (7V, Durban Virginia).
"The intention, beyond this current financing, is for the Company to explore financing and/or joint venture options in South Africa to support full-scale entry into that market," it said. "As the largest aviation market in Africa, the Board believes that South Africa, particularly routes to and from Cape Town, is[sic] strategically important to Fastjet, which can utilise the current FedAir platform as well as fastjet management's relations and track record in the country."
