The budget carrier is in a dire financial position despite the South African parliament having approved a special allocation of 2.7 billion rand ($182.3 million) for SAA subsidiaries.
On Monday SAA’s interim chief executive Thomas Kgokolo said Mango will enter a local form of bankruptcy protection known as business rescue.
