DOMESTIC Overnight Express – Durban route
Secure, safe and speedy
Our Overnight Express service to and from Durban meets the
needs of couriers for safety, security, speed and convenient
timing.“Clients tell us they favour air over road because the
transit is quicker, “ says Lenishia Naicker, BidAir Cargo
Regional Manager for KwaZulu -Natal. “They have more
time to collect cargo before hand-in and they appreciate
the earlier hand-out. Also, their customers appreciate the
containerisation aspect with its security, less handling and
greater certainty of performance. Cargo care, reduced
handling and greater security reduce hidden costs such as
insurance premiums and operational time and involvement
in risk management. Road transport risks range from
loss through pilferage or hijacking, delays through traffic
accidents and extreme weather (yes,even snow and ice
during the winter).”
To keep the service cost-effective, the older aircraft has been
replaced with a leased Antonov workhorse with the capacity
to handle growing volumes.
Key Accounts Manager at BidAir Cargo Durban, Rixon
Moodley sums up why air beats road hands down.
• Air is far faster at moving a shipment from Durban to
Johannesburg and other destinations in our network
• Quick transit times eliminate the need for cargo staging as
it can be cleared and delivered to customers immediately
• The short hand-in times are designed to allow clients and
their customers more time for collection while still making
the cut
• The Overnight Express dedicated freighter has reliable
departure and arrival times
• The tightly-managed airport security reduces exposure to
damage or theft
• Online tracking permits clients to follow the status of
consignments
Clients are reminded that Overnight Express is
complemented by 115 daily flights on our Same Day Express
service serving all major and most secondary airports. In other
words, we have a round-the-clock option for all movers of
express cargo offering the fastest transit times, cargo care,
security, reliability and cost-effectiveness.
