BidAir acquires Imperial Air Cargo to meet South Africa's courier needs
SOUTH AFRICA's BidAir Cargo has acquired Imperial Air Cargo of Johannesburg a local cargo handling agent with operations that extend throughout southern and eastern Africa.
A 70/30 partnership between Imperial Logistics and Comair (South Africa), Imperial Air Cargo uses leased B737-200Fs for night flights between Johannesburg, Cape Town, Durban and Port Elizabeth. Road feeder services then connect Bloemfontein, George and East London to the four main airports.
This operation will complement BidAir Cargo's business model in which it manages the daytime cargo operations of domestic passenger operators at various airports around the country, said Switzerland's ch-aviation.
"As two separate companies we collaborated closely in serving the express logistics industry for many years," BidAir managing director Garry Marshall told South Africa's Supply Chain Update.
"Couriers kept pressing us for the extra convenience of a one-stop-shop so combining these operations makes good business sense. We now have a comprehensive range of daytime and overnight express services to satisfy the total needs of the courier industry via one point of access," said Mr Marshall.
