Past
We have seen an increase in
demand for air chartering over
the years. This we believe is due
to the increased discovery of
natural resources around Africa.
In many cases the only way to get
into a site is via air charter due
to lack of road
infrastructure.
Air chartering
is by far a more
reliable and
faster way
to transport
commodities.
Future
My wish is
for a single,
above-board
agreement
between all
countries
(barring
sanctioned countries) to allow
the movement of freight more
freely without red tape. The
current situation limits trade
and movement of urgent cargo
because everyone has different
ideas on Customs regulations and
fees. This would see an increase in
trade and supply and demand.
