Geneva - The International Air Transport Association (IATA) supports the wearing of face coverings for passengers and masks for crew while on board aircraft as a critical part of a layered approach to biosecurity to be implemented temporarily when people return to traveling by air. IATA does not support mandating social distancing measures that would leave ‘middle seats’ empty.

NOTICE OF BUSINESS RESCUE RESOLUTION AND SUSPENSION OF LISTING OF COMAIR SHARES Further to the cautionary announcement released on 30 April 2020, shareholders are advised that the Company is unable to operate given the current restrictions in place. It appears that restricted air travel may commence at Risk Level 3, full domestic air travel at Risk Level 2 and regional and International air travel at Risk Level 1. The level of the prevailing COVID 19 risk will determine the progression from Risk Level 5 to Risk Level 1. It is not anticipated that Comair will commence operating prior to October or November 2020. The Comair business model is sound as the airline has been profitable for the past 74 years. Unfortunately, due to the above mentioned restrictions, operations have ceased. The Board believes that once again operational, Comair will take to the skies and return to being a major player in the South African airline industry.
