With the high cost of maintenance, skyrocketing fuel prices, inflation, and forex scarcity resulting in high foreign exchange rates. These are amongst the major components of airline operations.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn the meantime, we are working assiduously to return to service as quickly as possible, and do assure our esteemed customers and stakeholders of our determination, that our short absence will not create any major void in the market, as we are coordinating with our business partners to ensure minimum discomfort to ticket holders.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs members of Spring Alliance (a commercial alliance with member airlines providing mutual support in the area of operations), we are liaising with our partner<\/p>\n<p>airlines to minimise the impact on our esteemed customers.
