Tightening intra-African air cargo networks


While there has been a reduction in cargo capacity to, from, and within Africa since March, Astral Aviation continues to operate cargo freighters (Fokker 27, DC-9 and B727-200 + one wet-leased B747-400 freighter on the London/Liege sector) from its Nairobi hub to 13 destinations in Africa, which include Mozambique, South Africa, South Sudan, Tanzania and Uganda.

 

Effective today, 25 May 2020, the Kenyan company will operate to Lilongwe (Malawi) and Lusaka (Zambia) with a weekly frequency, and to Kismayo and Bosaso in Somalia.

 

During the pandemic, Astral has operated a number of charter flights for personal protective equipment (PPE) and medical items to various African countries, including Burundi, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Djibouti, Eritrea, Madagascar, Mozambique, Sudan, and also Yemen. (ah)
