"South African Airways said Wednesday (http://www.fin24.com/articles/default/display_article.aspx?ArticleId=1518-24_2530511) it would post a profit of more than $100m (R813m) after years of losses but faces a stiff penalty from Airbus due to confusion over an order for 15 planes."
--- somehow it seems they didn't correctly cancel a 2002 order for 15 new A320s - and now may be liable for R1.5b to Airbus for planes they no longer need. How mistakes of that magnitude can be made is completely unbelievable to me - but hey with SAA, I guess nothing should surprise.
