Following a court ruling that declared it unlawful to impose Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment B-BBEE criteria on domestic air service licence applicants, new litigation aims to overturn similar requirements for international providers.
Litigator for the business and industry chamber network, Sakeliga, has filed papers in the Gauteng High Court to revoke B-BBEE or race-based requirements on applications to the International Air Services Licensing Council IASLC.
Sakeliga said while its previous court case victory applied to domestic licences, the same requirements were being enforced for international air service applications.
