History
BidAir Cargo was established in 1996 as Express Air Services whose fleet of freighter aircraft operated an overnight hub-and-spoke domestic network. Over the years we have constantly evolved as a business, learnt lessons and have made numerous changes to our business model.
Now as BidAir Cargo, we offer various African passenger airlines an airfreight services agreement to manage their under utilised cargo capacity. The airline gains revenue for the cargo capacity which BidAir Cargo manages and makes available to the express parcel industry. We have also developed other handling and marketing services for domestic and regional airlines. In 2014 BidAir Cargo acquired the business of Imperial Air Cargo which operates overnight freighter services in South Africa with a fleet of dedicated B737 freighter aircraft.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″ offset=”vc_hidden-md vc_hidden-sm”][vc_single_image image=”66″ img_size=”medium”][/vc_column][vc_column offset=”vc_hidden-md vc_hidden-sm”][vc_separator][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner el_class=”boxes” width=”1/3″ offset=”vc_hidden-md vc_hidden-sm” css=”.vc_custom_1530530469172{background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: contain !important;}”][vc_column_text]
