American Airlines Cargo starts Sao Paulo-Africa service with HAE
AMERICAN Airlines Cargo is launching an offline service to expand its reach into Africa from Sao Paulo, after entering into a partnership with the general sales and service agency HAE Group last year.
The main route operates on South African Airways from Johannesburg into Guarulhos, Sao Paulo, and from there the freight has an option of three flights a day on AA's widebody network into Miami: into JFK, LAX and Dallas Fort-Worth, reported London's Loadstar.
"We created a classic GSA set up in Johannesburg, with a slightly different model in the rest of Africa," said AA Cargo sales manager Richard Hartmann.
"We have identified 10 markets where HAE has a presence, with some metal and operations and partnerships, particularly with Ethiopian Airlines.
"We were looking at exploiting NGO, project, oil and gas and diplomatic cargo, as and when it moves," he added. "This is very much on a transactional basis ?we are not expecting consolidations on a weekly basis, but the fact is we have a presence and can offer services."
The most of the freight, however is moved through Latin America.
"Everyone else is going through Europe, but there is high yield cargo through Latin America. AA has a lot of available capacity from Sao Paulo, and SAA has been really good and moved a fair amount of shipments," said HAE general manager for sub-Saharan Africa, Mark Janse van Rensburg.
