The Cargo Connection has expanded its portfolio with its appointment as the new cargo GSA for Air Namibia in South Africa from November 1. For Namibian-born TCC MD Gerd von Mansberg, it’s a particularly pleasing development. “We won’t be selling Windhoek alone but rather the entire network,” Von Mansberg told FTW. “Frankfurt, Luanda, Walvis Bay, Luderitz, Oranjemund, Ondangwa and Katima Mulilo are all being served and will be of special interest to the courier and express industry. We will be looking for interline agreements to add to this network both ways,” he added. A final start-up date with rates and services will be issued closer to the time. The current schedule is daily from Cape Town to Windhoek, three times weekly between Cape Town and Walvis Bay and ten flights a week on the Johannesburg-Windhoek route. In a separate development TCC has been appointed GSA for newcomer to the SA route, Jade Cargo International. The airline will begin a freighter operation between South Africa and China via Bangkok this week. Jade was established in 2004 as a joint venture between Shenzhen Airlines and Lufthansa Cargo and currently operates a fleet of B747-400ERFs.
