The recent relaunch of Alitalia’s JohannesburgRome service has already generated cargo demand, according to South African cargo GSA, ATC Aviation.
Deputy director Africa, Stuart Tonkin, told FTW that perishables, crocodile skins and automotive equipment were among the product requests. He estimated that cargo capacity would be somewhere between 8 to 10 tonnes.
The airline will operate an Airbus A330-200 on the route, flying four times a week with the possibility of increasing the frequency, depending on demand.
