CHAIRMAN’S MESSAGE

JANUARY/FEBRUARY 2010

Welcome on board this Interair South Africa  flight.

I am sure everyone is hopeful that 2010 will see some improvement in the global financial crisis.

Interair South Africa  has commenced a new service to Pointe Noire in the Republic of Congo.The flight is in conjunction with the Brazzaville service, operating on a Monday northbound, returning on Wednesdays. The oil-rich enclave of Cabinda is a short drive from Pointe Noire, and we believe that this new service will be to the benefit of residents and business people of both these cities commuting to and from Johannesburg. The flight continues from Pointe Noire to Cotonou, Benin and this also creates an additional option for passengers travelling between these two points.

In this issue, we have a focus feature on the AFRAA (African Airlines Association) Executive Committee Meeting which was held in Johannesburg towards the end of last year. The aim of this organization is to deal with issues relating to commercial aviation in Africa. Earlier this month, the AGM was held in Maputo, Mocambique, where I was very honoured indeed to be elected Chairman of this worthy organization. You as a member of the travelling public will indirectly reap the benefits of supporting AFRAA member airlines when flying in Africa.

We wish you a bon voyage!
