disappointments, some frustra-

ments,” she said.

of a protégé programme as a
succession plan for the orga-

behind the scenes efforts of the

sustainable sources of income

SA’s survival and inadvertently
our ability to serve you. AAD
2020 can only be successful for
commercial and general avia-
tion with your participation.
