The airline has been suspended with immediate effect.

Skywise has been suspended from operating at Acsa airports, the
airports company confirmed today.

In a statement, Acsa said Skywise had been suspended with immediate
effect due to unpaid airport landing and take-off charges, parking of
aircraft and related service charges.

"The suspension shall be withdrawn as soon as Skywise airline has made
appropriate payments in accordance with the Airport Charges
Regulations," Acsa said.

Commenting on the situation, June Crawford, CEO of the Board of
Airline Representatives of South Africa (BARSA) said: "Even before
starting new operations, all airlines are aware of the terms and
conditions of payment for services provided by ACSA and ATNS. In fact
all airlines agree to these conditions."

"I do not believe exceptions can be made," she said.
