There’s a new SA-Spain air cargo connection with Express Air having been appointed general sales and servicing agent (GSSA) for Iberia Cargo from July 1. The Spanish airline operates A340 aircraft, each with 14 000-kilograms of payload, between Madrid and Johannesburg on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays. “We believe our cargo facility at OR Tambo International Airport offers an ideal hub-andspoke distribution system for all Iberia’s import and export cargo,” said Express Air MD, Garry Marshall. It sees the Express Air network in and out of 27 key African destinations connecting to all 102 Iberia destinations in 39 countries spread round the Balearic and Canary Islands, Spain and Europe, Africa and the Middle East, as well as Central, South and North America. “The modern Iberia Cargo Terminal in Madrid is a natural gateway into Europe for the entry and exit of intercontinental cargo,” said Marshall. “Also, by offering extensive perishable facilities in both Madrid and SA, Iberia is well-placed to handle meat, fish, fruit and vegetables.”
