A new company has
appeared on the SA general
sales agents (GSA) scene,
with Air Logistics having
plans to make its mark
in the air cargo industry,
according to GM, Shawn
McGuinness.
“October 1 was when we
launched the Air Logistics
service,” he told FTW,
“and we have taken over
Etihad Airways as our first
partner airline.
“Although we are
newcomers to SA, our
parent company is a leading
GSA worldwide.”
The company’s plan is to
set up new offices in Africa,
with SA and Kenya the
first national targets for the
operation. Johannesburgbased
Air Logistics
will also be adding Air
Seychelles to its airline
partner stable from January
2013.
“We will be putting our
proposals for other offices
before the airlines as we go
forward,” said McGuinness.
Air Logistics will be
offering its GSA products
for Eithad’s daily cargo
service out of Johannesburg,
with the airline having four
morning flights and three in
the afternoons. It flies the
Airbus A330-200 aircraft,
which offers an average
cargo capacity of 12 to 13
tonnes, McGuinness added.
