8.1 Turnaround strategy The board of South African Airways has established a sub-committee that is inclusive of the executive of all divisions in the airline that is responsible for the development of a 20-year long-term turnaround strategy. The board will not be using consultants and will be using its internal expertise. The board has met 15 times since their appointment in September 2012 to ensure the completion of the strategy. The strategy was expected to be tabled to the Minister of Public Enterprises by the end of March 2013.
