Johannesburgbased Air Logistics will also be adding Air Seychelles to its airline partner stable from January 2013. “We will be putting our proposals for other offices before the airlines as we go forward,” said McGuinness. Air Logistics will be offering its GSA products for Eithad’s daily cargo service out of Johannesburg, with the airline having four morning flights and three in the afternoons. It flies the Airbus A330-200 aircraft, which offers an average cargo capacity of 12 to 13 tonnes, McGuinness added. CAPTION Eithad is Air Logistics' first partner airline.
