SOUTH AFRICAN Airways Cargo has extended its international express service network to include a new routing from Johannesburg to Frankfurt and London.
The airline has also added a small parcel and bulk express service, each offering priority retrieval at the destination. For smaller parcels, SAA will refund in full if the item is not flown as booked.
"There is only a 90 minute lodgement time prior to the standard time of departure and smaller express parcels will also be accepted as cargo without prior booking," says Tleli Makhetha, executive vice president and general manager of SAA Cargo.
"For bulk express cargo, if the parcel is not flown as booked, we will provide a 15% refund and fly the cargo free on the next flight," he added.
Bookings
Bookings must be made a minimum of eight hours prior to the standard time of departure with a 180 minute lodgement time prior to departure.
Smaller express parcels will have a weight restriction of 30kg but no weight restrictions apply to bulk express cargo. Cargo dimensions must adhere to the aircraft's door size for both smaller and bulk express packages.
Livestock, human remains, dangerous goods and valuable cargo are excluded from the new express service.
