The airline is alleging that the CCO knowingly misrepresented figures to the board, and furthermore ignored specialist advice.
According to news reports, the decision to first place Bosc on special leave and now, to suspend him, follows a forensic investigation conducted by law firm ENSafrica into allegations that the CCO had doctored some important figures regarding one of the airline's routes.
