December 11, 2019: Comair Limited on Tuesday announced the appointment of Wrenelle Stander as the group chief executive officer and the discontinuation of the recently introduced joint-CEO structure.

Glenn Orsmond, previously joint-CEO, has been appointed as the CEO of Comair’s Airline Division as part of an ongoing restructuring at Comair.

The South African company’s airline division offers scheduled and non-scheduled airline services within South Africa, Sub-Saharan Africa and the Indian Ocean Islands. The Group operates under its low-cost airline brand, kulula.com, as well as under the British Airways livery, as part of a licence agreement.

Earlier this year, Comair acquired 100% of the equity in Star Air Cargo (Pty) Ltd and Star Air Maintenance (Pty) Ltd and wants to bring maintenance capability back into the Comair Group.
