License renewals take over 30 days - not acceptable! No service delivery!

It is taking in excess of 30 days for SACAA Licensing Department to renew pilots licenses.

The period to renew has deteriorated from 1-2 hours 2 years ago, to 7-10 days last year and this year 30+days.

It will be impossible for the aviation companies to keep their pilots in the air if their licenses are not issued in an immediate and timely manner as it was a few years ago.

It is requiring pilots to apply for license extensions which should be the exception and is now the rule.
