ONE OF INTERAIR South Africa's key strengths is its workforce, says the airline's Executive Chairman, David Tokoph. "We have an excellent team of staff who do their utmost to provide a consistently high standard of service and on-time performance."

To ensure high standards, the company places a strong emphasis on regular training for its employees, ranging from reservations staff to aircraft pilots. With this in mind, Interair recently purchased a Boeing 737-200 simulator from South African Airways.
