Glenn Orsmond, a co-founder of 1time, recounts his experiences in the South African airline industry spanning three decades, including his dual tenures as CEO at Comair. In his new book "Crash and Burn," Orsmond provides an insider's perspective on the industry's evolution since the 1990s when low-cost carriers emerged following South African Airways' reduced dominance. Comair, operating both Kulula and British Airways, alongside 1time, played pivotal roles in reshaping domestic flying and tourism. Despite Comair's longstanding profitability, the company faced a dramatic collapse in 2022 under Orsmond's leadership, marking a turbulent chapter amid its otherwise illustrious 75-year history.
