Government Opts to Restructure South African Airways, BD Reports

(Bloomberg) -- South Africa’s government has opted to restructure the national airline, Business Day reported, citing state officials it didn’t identify.

The option to reorganize South African Airways was favored over either liquidating the carrier, or closing it and retaining the company’s low-cost airline Mango, the Johannesburg-based newspaper said. The decision will likely mean SAA will require further state funding, it said.
