10 Dec 2008.

I am wondering how Peter Greenberg compiled his list, and have contacted him at info@petergreenberg.com to try find out.
Two Mango's and Comair's
The question is whether Peter's Mango Airlines is the Mango in the DRC, or Mango South Africa. And there's another Comair (in addition to the one in South Africa).
Who is Peter Greenberg
According to his Facebook profile: Peter Greenberg is "Travel Editor of NBC's Today show as well as AARP, CNBC and MSNBC, contributing editor to Forbes and Men's Health, best-selling author, and nationally syndicated radio host. His website is at www.petergreenberg.com.
