Le nkampani yezindiza, ezobizwa nge-Redair, ingumqondo kasomabhizinisi wezindiza u-Andy Cluver, ophethe inkampani yendawo eqasha i-Civair.
I-Redair inikezwe amalungelo okuhamba ngezindiza okundiza izindiza ezinhlanu njalo ngesonto zokuya nokubuya zisuka eKapa noma eThekwini ziye eLondon. Kukhona futhi amathemba okuthi izikhala ezine okwamanje ezingasetshenziswa yiSouth African Airways zizotholakala. Iphephandaba laseLondon iTelegraph liphinde labika ukuthi inkampani yezindiza izohlinzeka ngosizo phakathi kweKapa neBarcelona kanye neMalaga.

Nakuba bonke abahambi bagcina bebuyiselwe imali, amakhulu abantu abafika eholidini wonakaliswa iholide labo likaKhisimusi ngenxa yokwehluleka kwendiza ukuhamba ngendlela eyayihleliwe.
