Independent Cargo GSA BidAir
Cargo has been contracted
by Proflight of Zambia to
handle all the private airline’s
cargo-related matters as part of
a drive by BidAir – which has a
comprehensive cargo network in
Southern and Eastern Africa – to
put more cargo into the air.
“Shippers within Zambia
continue to use road freight despite
the challenges and unreliability
that come with it,” says Vincent
Banda, director Africa at BidAir
Cargo.
“Our goal is to change this trend–
to sensitise shippers to use air
freight, which is efficient, reliable
and fast,” he said.
Proflight serves all the main
domestic airports in Zambia.
BidAir Cargo has sales and
administration offices in Ndola,
Livingstone and Lusaka.
The introduction of a Boeing
737 on the Lusaka to Livingstone
and Ndola routes in May 2013
increased the airline’s internal
freight capacity, said Banda.
Proflight is the only airline
providing scheduled services
within Zambia.
BidAir Cargo, through its
airfreight airline partner FastJet,
now also connects Zambia to Dar
es Salaam and the rest of its East
Africa network.
“We saw the need to work with
airlines to promote and grow the
airfreight market in the country
while the airline remains focused
on its core business – passenger
service.
“Other than the Zambian
domestic routes BidAir, in
conjunction with other airline
partners such as Ethiopian
Airlines, SA Airlink and Fastjet,
is able to move cargo between
Zambia and any destination in the
world,” adds Banda.
Our clients include freight
forwarders, courier companies and
individual shippers.
