Air Botswana, Puma Energy Collaborate
Last week, Puma Energy deployed two A-1 jet-refuellers with respective capacities of 65,000 litres and 20,000 litres at Sir Seretse Khama International Airport (SSKIA), which are said to be effective and efficient than the older ones.
On the other hand, Air Botswana launched three ground power units; two small and large aircraft pushback as well as three mobile passenger steps and two ramp buses.
At the event, the Minister of Transport and Communications Tshenolo Mabeo said it was crucial for Air Botswana to optimise its cargo operations.
He said they have to move to the new world class facility as the relocation of DTC presented a chance for them to capture new world markets as international dealers travel in and out. “The new equipment would help Air Botswana to provide better customer service to the flying public. As a ground handler, Air Botswana needs to demonstrate its capability and capacity to deal with such large numbers of people.”
