<strong>SA</strong> <strong>Express</strong>:<br />
Connecting<br />
Durban with<br />
the African<br />
continent<br />
Our vision for <strong>SA</strong> <strong>Express</strong> is <strong>to</strong> be<br />
a sustainable world-class regional<br />
airline with an extensive footprint in<br />
Africa. We are passionate about<br />
providing transport services for<br />
passengers, cargo, mail, air charters<br />
and all other aviation related services<br />
within the African region.<br />
Guided by government’s National<br />
Growth Path, the airline is committed<br />
<strong>to</strong> stimulating new secondary<br />
entry points in support of the<br />
development of infrastructure and in<br />
order <strong>to</strong> catalyse economic growth.<br />
Although we do not directly invest in<br />
infrastructure, we influence relevant<br />
stakeholders by providing capacity <strong>to</strong><br />
enter the economy from secondary<br />
markets <strong>to</strong> primary markets in order<br />
<strong>to</strong> facilitate economic growth.<br />
African expansion is a key strategic<br />
goal for us. We want <strong>to</strong> proactively<br />
capitalise on our existing domestic<br />
hubs <strong>to</strong> establish new regional routes<br />
and become an active participant in<br />
regional economic co-operation and<br />
integration. It is imperative for us <strong>to</strong><br />
increase connectivity <strong>to</strong> the Southern<br />
African Development Community<br />
(<strong>SA</strong>DC) region in order <strong>to</strong> grow<br />
<strong>to</strong>urism and trade opportunities.<br />
As an airline, we play a significant<br />
role in the country’s hospitality,<br />
travel and <strong>to</strong>urism industry, as well as<br />
contribute <strong>to</strong> the continent’s socioeconomic<br />
development. That is why<br />
we are thrilled about our involvement<br />
in the annual Tourism Indaba taking<br />
place in Durban this month.<br />
The Tourism Indaba is a great<br />
platform for us as it is where the<br />
world's markets converge in support<br />
of travel and <strong>to</strong>urism on the continent.<br />
With the launch of two new routes<br />
last year – Durban <strong>to</strong> Harare and<br />
Durban <strong>to</strong> Lusaka – <strong>SA</strong> <strong>Express</strong> is<br />
now in a position <strong>to</strong> connect more<br />
travellers from Durban <strong>to</strong> the region.<br />
On the local frontier, our route<br />
network allows for travellers from<br />
East London, Port Elizabeth and Cape<br />
Town <strong>to</strong> travel <strong>to</strong> Durban for both<br />
leisure and business. We are happy<br />
with the growth of Durban as a hub<br />
and hope <strong>to</strong> increase the visibility<br />
of our Durban routes at this year’s<br />
Tourism Indaba.<br />
We look forward <strong>to</strong> interacting<br />
with you, our cus<strong>to</strong>mers, at our stand<br />
at the Tourism Indaba where you can<br />
experience our premier intra-regional<br />
African brand.<br />
