JULY/AUGUST 2010

Welcome on board!

Interair South Africa has successfully implemented APP (Advance Passenger Processing), in accordance with the South African Department of Home Affairs. How this will affect you as a passenger, is that at Check-in, you will be asked to present your passport, from which details are electronically transmitted to the South African Home Affairs, who in turn either allow, or disallow the boarding of a flight to or from South Africa. All airlines who operate services into, through, or out of this country comply with this new regulation. It is therefore recommended that your travel documents are in order. Your local travel agent can assist you to check, or visit http://www.home-affairs.gov.za/documents.asp

In this issue, we have a feature on Pointe Noire which I am sure you will find interesting. Pointe Noire is a strategically situated city in the Republic of Congo, and holds great potential in terms for industrial growth in the region.  Interair South Africa, together with our partner Aero Benin serves Pointe Noire from Cotonou and Johannesburg via Brazzaville.

As we go to press, here in Johannesburg and the rest of the country, there is a mood of exuberance at being the host country for the soccer World Cup 2010. Tourists and soccer fans from all over the world have flooded in and the spirit of community is really wonderful to witness. On the 11 July the final match to decide the winners will take place. We feel sure you will join us in wishing success to the best team.

We wish you a bon voyage!
