Chairperson, I move without notice:
That the Council -
1) notes the launch of the low-cost airline Velvet Sky, which will introduce new competition on the coastal routes between Cape Town and Durban and Durban and Port Elizabeth;
2) further notes that the first Velvet Sky flight is scheduled to leave from King Shaka International Airport to Port Elizabeth on Friday, November 4 and that the Cape Town to Durban route will start on November 7; and
3) acknowledges that the launch of low-cost airlines will reduce the huge increases in airport tariffs and expand job opportunities for our people.
Motion agreed to in accordance with section 65 of the Constitution.
