NEW YORK, NY
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
A quoted Media Statement just in from Nationwide Airlines’ CEO – Vernon Bricknell
MEDIA STATEMENT
- On the 7th November 2007, Nationwide Airlines experienced an engine separation from a Boeing 737-200 on departure from Cape Town
- Subsequent to this a protracted grounding of our fleet was mandated by the South African Civil Aviation Authority
- In the months of December and January we resumed operations and attained a gradual recovery of the business however in the months of March and April we faced a 30% increase in fuel costs coupled with a decrease in passenger load factors
- Throughout this period we continued to work towards securing investment by a black empowerment consortium which unfortunately has not come to fruition
- Our cash-flow has become critical and as a result have decided to voluntarily cease all flight operations until further notice
- We apologize to our loyal customers for any and all inconveniences experienced
- More information will be available in the course of the day
Sincerely,
Vernon Bricknell
Chief Executive Officer
