Jonathan Ball Publishers and Exclusive Books invite you to the launch of Crash and Burn: A CEO’s Crazy Adventures in the SA Airline Industry by Glenn Orsmond.

Orsmond will be in conversation with David O’Sullivan.

This is an insider’s tale of the South African airline industry over the past 30 years, as told by Orsmond, and particularly the story of the dramatic collapse of Comair in 2022.

You can expect tales of industry legends and innovation but also of competitors trying to gut each other, battles between pilots and accountants, unions and bosses at loggerheads, and warfare between shareholders and directors in boardrooms.

Orsmond was a co-founder of 1time and did three stints at Comair – twice as CEO – in an airline career spanning more than 30 years.
