The Jet set touches down at Ortia

The arrival of the first Jet Airways flight at OR Tambo last Thursday (April 14) marked the start of the airline’s daily services between Mumbai and Johannesburg. “Over the past few years South African companies have been actively looking for opportunities in India and some large Indian companies are already invested here,” CEO Nikos Kardassis told FTW on his arrival. “We believe a daily scheduled service will facilitate growing trade.” Arindam Banerji, senior general manager: cargo, said recently that while Jet Airways was primarily a passenger airline, its aim was to see at least 20% of revenue generated from cargo.
