The Cargo Connection bumps up portfolio

The Cargo Connection
has expanded its portfolio
with its appointment as
the new cargo GSA for Air
Namibia in South Africa
from November 1.
For Namibian-born TCC
MD Gerd von Mansberg,
it’s a particularly pleasing
development.
“We won’t be selling
Windhoek alone but rather
the entire network,” Von
Mansberg told FTW.
“Frankfurt, Luanda,
Walvis Bay, Luderitz,
Oranjemund, Ondangwa
and Katima Mulilo are
all being served and will
be of special interest to
the courier and express
industry. We will be
looking for interline
agreements to add to
this network both ways,”
he added.
A final start-up date
with rates and services
will be issued closer to
the time.
The current schedule
is daily from Cape Town
to Windhoek, three times
weekly between Cape
Town and Walvis Bay and
ten flights a week on the
Johannesburg-Windhoek
route.
In a separate
development TCC has
been appointed GSA for
newcomer to the SA route,
Jade Cargo International.
The airline will begin
a freighter operation
between South Africa
and China via Bangkok
this week.
Jade was established
in 2004 as a joint venture
between Shenzhen Airlines
and Lufthansa Cargo and
currently operates a fleet
of B747-400ERFs.
