The partnership, signed by Tebogo Mekgoe, chief operating officer of ACSA, and Markus Kopp, chief executive officer of Mitteldeutsche Airport Holding, will expand international air cargo market, elevating Leipzig/Halle Airport and O.R. Tambo International airport's status in air transportation industry.
The signing of this agreement follows the recent creation of a cargo management division at O.R. Tambo International Airport, affirming ACSA's commitment to implement its cargo strategy. "This strategic partnership will provide industry-leading guidance in developing the company's cargo business model and approach," said Mekgoe.
South Africa's O.R. Tambo International Airport is the largest air cargo hub on the African continent. Its economic stability, combined with a reliable and stable legal framework has contributed to the growth of various industries.
"Given the centrality of air cargo to, especially, the automotive, electronics, telecommunications and perishable industries, an active exchange of experiences and analyses of potential will develop the capacity and reach of both airport management companies," said Kopp.
