CT office to cater for oil and gas opportunities

The growing oil and gas industry in southern Africa is expected to provide significant opportunities for airfreight, according to Andy King, group sales director for ANA Airline Management, a Network Aviation group company. “A reliable and efficient airfreight industry is a central requirement for the oil and gas industry where the downtime of rigs and other equipment is kept to the minimum,” he said. Through its South African subsidiary, Network Airline Services (NAS) recently opened an office in Cape Town. “We are very excited to extend our business into Cape Town as we believe there are some great opportunities in terms of the growing oil and gas industry,” he said. Having been established in both Kenya and Nigeria for the past 25 years, King said the company had built up valuable experience in servicing the African oil and gas market. The company also has offices in Uganda and Tanzania. “At the same time the inter Africa air cargo business is growing and we see South Africa as a major market for our services into North East Africa”, he said. “South Africa, with Johannesburg in particular, is an ideal location to serve the region and transfer cargo to countries such as Angola and Mozambique.” CAPTION Arnold Vosloo of NAS, Marzanne Griesel of Airlink Cargo and Andy King of ANA.
