13-Apr-2007 : SINGAPORE Airlines Cargo (SIA Cargo), has commenced a once-weekly service to Nairobi, Kenya. Nairobi is the fourth city in Africa and the 75th destination in the airline’s passenger and cargo network. SIA Cargo expects the new service to boost growing freight business links between Kenya and Singapore.
Bilateral trade has been steadily increasing for some years and includes IT and telecommunications equipment, pharmaceuticals and electronics on the import side and flowers and agricultural produce on the export side.“We look forward to serving the people of Kenya by providing trade links not only between our two countries but also between South East Asia, South West Pacific and other key markets,” said Zainul Aljunied, SIA Cargo’s vice-president for the Middle East, North Africa, Pakistan and Turkey.
The Honourable Chirau Ali Mwakwere, Kenya’s Minister for Transport added: “The entry of Singapore Airlines in the cargo transport business between Kenya and Singapore and Europe will greatly boost the import and export business between the East African region and the Far East as well as with Europe.”
