The South African Civil Aviation Authority (SACAA) has extended the precautionary suspension of Comair operations indefinitely. The 24-hour suspension was meant to end on Sunday, but SACCA says Comair did not adequately address all the necessary safety issues.

The authority grounded Comair’s Air Operator Certificate in South Africa on Saturday, including that of Kulula and British Airways flights. It follows investigations, suggesting that there may be safety risks at the operator.
