Comair: "Our industry is very sensitive to business activity levels and economic growth rates in South Africa, and we have only seen a very moderate recovery from the 2009 recession. We therefore don't anticipate much growth in the market but do anticipate continuing growth in market share, based on the strength of our brands and our competitive pricing," Company statement.
