KEVIN MAYHEW IN ITS first year of operation Air Care Cargo finds itself ahead of its projections and also the recipient of the SAA Newcomer Of The Year 2005. Spokesperson Paul Volck said the company – which only began trading in December last year – was particularly proud of the award as it was based on just the first five months of its performance. The consideration period for the award runs to a year ended April of each year. “We have continued to get good business throughout the year and are very satisfied with the performance to date,” he told FTW. Referring to operational elements he complimented the Airports Company of South Africa (ACSA) on the effectiveness of its security initiatives. Coupled with ACC’s own security measures they have proved effective, he said. As a caution he said courier companies were still either unwilling or unable to give any guarantees or surety for high cost work done for them which called for constant vigilance regarding credit applications.
