To the point
The local financial advisory group of the APJC met in Johannesburg last
month to review Iata’s local financial criteria. Consideration is being given
to the introduction of NewGen ISS and the phasing out of the BSP’s

the local APJC in August. Thereafter it will be submitted to PaConf, which
is set to take place in the week of October 21.
