| SIA Cargo In West Asia And Africa | |||
SOUTH AFRICA Johannesburg and Cape Town Johannesburg is the commercial centre of not only South Africa, but also neighbouring countries such as Lesotho, Swaziland, Zimbabwe, Zambia and Namibia. SIA has a daily B777 passenger service to Johannesburg while SIA Cargo operates a twice-weekly B747-400 freighter service to the city. The freighter service was launched on 6 July and runs on the Brussels-Johan-nesburg-Singapore and Dallas-Brussels-Johannesburg-Singapore routes. Cape Town came online in 1994 and now has three weekly services — one service direct to/from Singapore and two services via Johannesburg. South Africa’s exports consist mainly of auto parts (as major brands of motor vehicles are manufactured at Port-Elizabeth and Pretoria), dairy products and mining machinery. Cape Town’s main exports are live seafood such as lobsters and abalone, bound mainly for Beijing and Hong Kong. SIA Cargo also carries most of the shipments of radioactive isotopes to China used for the treatment of cancer patients. Exports of wild animals such as rhinocerous, antelopes, giraffes and zebras have seen a revival recently due to demands from China’s many safari parks and zoos. Our GSA for South Africa is Afro-Asian Travel Services (PTY) Ltd. |
