Competition Commission backs Safair Holdings acquisition with conditions

# The Competition Commission has recommended that the Competition Tribunal approve Harith Aviation’s acquisition of Safair Holdings, subject to conditions. Safair owns low-cost airline FlySafair, while Harith is an infrastructure investment firm with interests including Lanseria Airport. The Commission says the conditions are aimed at preventing inappropriate information sharing. It also seeks to ensure airlines receive fair, reasonable and non-discriminatory access to airport-related goods and services. The proposed merger will now be considered by the Competition Tribunal.
