CFR Freight will introduce a new direct air freight service from Frankfurt to Cape Town in coming weeks. According to the company’s air freight director, Stephen Bishop, this is part of CFR’s ongoing expansion strategy. “Arrival is over the weekend so cargo is ready for drawing on Monday morning.” He said pricing had already been set and the team in Cape Town was able to take bookings. According to Bishop, although air freight import volumes are behind expectation the company remains positive about the sector. “For imports we are likely to have a soft peak season,” he said. “Exports on the other hand continue to perform well with year-on-year growth.”
