Episode 145. Peter Davies, Founder, Airline Management Group Ltd. Reflections on experiences at SAA and a lifetime of turnarounds

This episode is the third in our series of live podcasts with industry leaders.  Peter has dedicated his professional life to supporting ailing carriers around the world and recently spent time as Chief Restructuring Officer at SAA.  In this session, we talk about how airlines start the turnaround process and what ingredients are required to ensure the best chance of success. We then focus heavily on SAA and discuss what a new SAA could look like plus reflect on some of the decisions made over the years.  Finally, we zoom out to look at the prospects for Africa including SAATM and the threat of non-African airlines to the industry.
