Recently put together food and agriculture distributor AfriAg (LON:AFRI) told investors it has opted to use IAG Cargo, a subsidiary of BA owner International Consolidated Airlines, as its ‘carrier of choice’.
IAG Cargo began carrying freight on AfriAg’s behalf a number of months ago for key existing contracts and the AIM firm expects to use it for prospective contracts.
"IAG Cargo and British Airways provide an outstanding service at OR Tambo International in Johannesburg,” said managing director Paul de Robillard.
“They are world class on product security with their duel vision scanners, their knowledge of perishable goods and on timekeeping. We look forward to growing our business with them."
Cayley Buyskes, IAG Cargo area commercial manager, said: "We are very pleased to welcome the AfriAg Group as a new and important customer.
“Our high service levels are specifically designed to meet the precise requirements of logistics operators such as AfriAg SA."
