The study revealed that the structure of the South African air transport industry is unbalanced. While South African Airline minimizes logistics problems for the airline and offers passengers the comfort of jet travel by standardizing its fleet to two aircraft types, these aircrafts are generally too large to service domestic routes economically except for the highest density routes. Restructuring of the fleet of aircraft available for domestic service to better fit market requirements would free resources for alternative uses in the long term. Market access of the private airlines should be improved.
