We have read with disbelief the unfounded and incorrect inference in the article “SAA Cargo is up for sale” (FTW February 20, 2009. We would have appreciated if Ed Richardson had confirmed with us before publishing the article. The information is not true. SAAC remains a business unit of SAA. What has been published in fact is an assumption drawn from the SAA restructuring process where the Seabury Consultants proposed that SAAC should be corporatised as one of the initiatives. Subsequent to a variety of considerations, SAA’s view is that cargo is of strategic value and therefore focus will be placed on the internal optimisation of the business.
