SAM is a multimodal transport operation which combines sea and air modes of transport from the Far East to Africa via Dubai. Shipment travels by sea freight from the Far East to Dubai, where Swift promptly transfers it to the Dubai International Airport. Then using premier airlines, it is air freighted from Dubai to a number of African destinations. SAM has not only defeated backlogs at Far Eastern airports, but has successfully achieved on time deliveries at inexpensive cost to clients in Africa.
CEO and Chairman of Swift Freight International, Mr. Issa Baluch commented on the effectiveness of SAM by saying, "The development of Sea and Air combined transport service to Africa has been on the cards for quite sometime, we at Swift are delighted to see the take-off of this product and are pleased to be the first to provide a multimodal solution to our clients based in Africa."
SAM will work in collaboration with Ethiopian Airlines (ET) which is one of the premier airlines that has an unrivalled coverage in Africa and currently operates 13 weekly flights between Dubai and Addis Ababa.
The Chief Executive Officer of Ethiopian Airlines, Mr. Girma Wake, commented on SAM stating that it is a landmark innovation that Ethiopian Airlines is honored to be part of. "We are indeed very proud to be serving SAM in cooperation with the Swift Group," Mr. Wake added.
