SAA Cargo (SAAC) will align its freighter services to meet demand as the Zambian economy continues to diversify, says Dixon Nkomo, executive manager: sales and marketing – Africa. “We offer freighter services in order to support growth, and therefore SAAC will continue to increase frequencies in response to customer demands,” he says. SAA operates passenger and freighter services between Zambia and South Africa. There are three passenger flights a day, seven days a week, and three freighter services a week. Palletised and loose load cargo are catered for, and an SAAC courier service is being piloted for the Zambian market, he says. Demand is growing. “Both passenger and freighter services have seen an increase in the frequencies. The increase is notable in inbound general cargo, as well as greater demand for Zambian perishables, said Nkomo. Europe remains a big perishable market for goods from Zambia together with imports from the Asian market into Zambia, he says.
