「CEO Interview: South African Airways’ Josef #Lamola
[...]
#SAA’s fleet has shrunk to nine leased #Airbus aircraft, including #A330|s and #A320|s, and you also wet lease two #Boeing #737-800s What are your fleet growth plans? For the financial year ending March 31, 2025, we are saying we will have a fleet of at least 21 aircraft and that’s what we are working on.
[...]
For me, the critical fleet size for SAA to be well positioned for the future would be a minimum of 40 aircraft and up to 50 for us to have a strong presence in the international market.
[...]
Our current strategy is to develop a very long-term fleet strategy beyond the five-year plan. In that strategy, we are doing research and looking at Airbus and Boeing aircraft. We are doing a study on growing a European network. For instance, London requires two good #widebody aircraft; the same for Frankfurt. So we are comparing the [Boeing] #787-9 and the [Airbus] #A350. The future fleet idea is for 50:50 widebodies versus narrowbodies. That is looking out to the financial year 2028/29. We have a history as a widebody operator with access to those long-haul markets. It’s a differentiator for SAA.」
