Harith Aviation has secured final approval from the Competition Tribunal to proceed with its 100% acquisition of FlySafair, with the deal expected to close by the end of 2026. The Sandton-headquartered consortium said the transaction reflects long-term South African investment in a successful local airline and will support economic development through expansion of critical infrastructure.
FlySafair will continue to operate independently under its existing management team, retaining its low-cost model and customer offering. The airline, South Africa’s largest domestic carrier, will maintain business as usual during the transition. Harith Aviation and FlySafair await remaining regulatory approvals before closing the deal.
