Botswana Consolidators is
exploring the possibility of adding
an airfreight option to its service
portfolio, says manager, Kitty
Hewitt.
This would
be achieved
through an
alliance with
a third party,
she told FTW.
“We have
had a good
year so far
and we
expect to
see further
growth,
thanks
mainly to the
continued
support of our
customers,” she said. “Frequencies
have increased on the company’s
major routes, including Botswana,
Swaziland and Lesotho.”
Hewitt concedes that
there have been challenges to
the freight industry in general,
including the labour disputes
which affected
operations
across the board
in the sector
last year,
although
Botswana
Consolidators’
staff did not
participate in
the industrial
action.
“For the
year ahead, we
believe e-tolling,
which is due for
implementation
shortly, is
going to have a significant
impact on operational costs,”
said Hewitt.
