CRF adds direct London service

Independent consolidator
CFR Airfreight has enhanced
its service offering from the
UK with the introduction of a
direct service from London to
Johannesburg and Cape Town.
“In the past we offered a
deferred service but we have
now entered into a contract
agreement with one of the
premier carriers to offer a
direct weekly option,” general
manager airfreight, Stephen
Bishop, told FTW.
In Johannesburg last week
to touch base with the local
industry and promote the
service was CFR’s UK-based
partner and member of the
Air Cargo Group, Damian
McCluskey of Simply Cargo.
According to Bishop
the market has responded
positively to the development.
“Our three ‘Rolls Royce’
airfreight import services
have always been the US,
Germany and China where
we have blocked space
agreements with premier
carriers. The UK now joins
that list thanks to this latest
development.”
The service will run weekly
but depending on customer
response a mid-week option
could be added.
