The proposed acquisition of South Africa’s largest airline, FlySafair, by infrastructure investment firm Harith has moved a step closer after receiving conditional approval from the Competition Commission.

The transaction now heads to the Competition Tribunal for a final ruling. Business Day TV unpacked what the decision means for the airline industry, competition in the sector and the future of FlySafair with aviation analyst Guy Leitch.
