Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 69622, member: 636"] The Dube Cargo Terminal at King Shaka International Airport reported a 7% annual increase in airfreight volumes, handling 15,429 tonnes in the recent financial year. A spokesperson for Dube TradePort Special Economic Zone attributed this growth to rising perishable exports, including fruit and meat destined for Europe and the Middle East, alongside increased shipments of high-value goods like automotive components. This upward trend signals a recovery for KwaZulu-Natal's air cargo sector, supported by specialized air charters and enhanced airport connectivity. Infrastructure investments in facilities such as cold storage and bonded warehouses have improved the handling of time-sensitive shipments. The expansion strengthens South Africa's role in international supply chains and supports local agricultural and manufacturing exporters. The increased activity demonstrates the region's improving logistics capabilities. [/QUOTE]
