Airport infrastructure and air services play an important role in striving towards national and international competitiveness. It is intended to relocate Durban International Airport at La Mercy, 30 km north of Durban. The intention is to develop La Mercy as an airport that will attract crucial manufacturing and value-added logistics and their associated freight needs, in addition to conventional passenger processing functions. These projects will be the drivers of a planned logistics platform that is linked with road, rail, air and maritime links - the so-called La Mercy Logistics Platform. Against this background, a need was identified to determine the airfreight potential of the La Mercy Logistics Platform. The aim of the report is therefore to: (1) undertake a data driven analysis of airfreight movements, nationally as well as for the international airports of Johannesburg, Cape Town and Durban; (2) to determine airfreight trends with a special focus on the movement of high value goods to the target markets of Europe, North America, South America and Asia; (3) to arrange a series of interviews with companies involved in freight transportation by road, air and sea.
