Kenya Airways Granted 3rd Frequency to Luanda, Angola
The governments of Kenya and Angola have concluded and signed the Bilateral Air Services Agreement (BASA) paving way for Kenya Airways to expand its operations into the Southern Africa country.
As a result of the BASA, Kenya will now operate up to 3 weekly frequencies to Angola. For All-cargo operations, Kenya Airways will enter into co-operative arrangements with TAAG- Angolan airlines later in the year when KQ acquires its first freighter B747. The BASA also allows Kenya Airways to operate its route schedule from Kenya to any points in Angola with a provision of operating to destinations beyond using Angola as an intermediate point. This provides the pride of Africa with an opportunity to fly to South America via Luanda.
“The signing of the Bilateral Air Service Agreement between the two governments is in line with Kenya Airways growth strategy as it helps us in ensuring expansion of the Luanda route which we only started operating one year ago; but more importantly it gives us the impetus to set up operations for flights to South America in the next few years,” noted Kenya Airways CEO and Managing Director, Dr. Titus Naikuni.
The BASA which has taken several years to conclude will also allow for enhanced code share arrangements with TAAG – Angolan airlines as well as other Kenya Airways’ partners with underlying traffic rights. Kenya Airways launched flights to Luanda Angola in August 2010 operating 2 weekly flights. TAAG Angola Airlines code shares on the route with KQ.
Angola is now the biggest oil producer in Africa and has positioned itself as a key economic and political player of Africa after 27 years of war that ravaged the expansive country. Due to high growth rate and oil driven economy, Angola is attracting huge investments in mining both infrastructure & people. Furthermore being China’s largest oil exporter, coupled with Kenya Airways good connection to China; the route is ideal to serve the ever growing traffic between these two countries.
Dr. Naikuni noted that lack of the Bilateral Air Service Agreement between Kenya and Angola had greatly hampered Kenya Airways efforts to start operations earlier than last year.
“This is an important development for Kenya Airways as it offers further consolidation of our expanding African network and brings us closer to achieving our ambition of being the carrier of choice for Africa. Our plans to fly to every Capital in Africa by 2013 and consolidate our route network on the continent are well on course. We sincerely appreciate the very positive input we continue to receive from our government in negotiating such agreements to enable us achieve our strategy,” added Dr. Naikuni.
Dr. Naikuni noted that Africa is acknowledged as the new frontier for growth with the continent recording increasing economic activity and trade. He added that Kenya Airways was seeking to diversify its route network throughout Africa in order to tap into the unique opportunities on this very diverse continent.

African Sun Sets on Jhb Properties
African Sun has opted not to renew its operating agreements with both of its Johannesburg properties. It will exit out of its operating agreement for The Grace in Rosebank and the hotel will cease to operate on 31 August, while the lease agreement for The Lakes Hotel and Conference Centre, near OR Tambo International Airport, will come to an end from 31 July.
Hyprop Investments Ltd, the lessees of The Grace Hotel will assess its options in respect to the building. African Sun cites the reduction in overseas and domestic travellers, coupled with the continued pressure of the global recession and rapidly escalating running costs as making the businesses unsustainable. African Sun’s central reservations and marketing will remain in Johannesburg. African Sun will be adding 231 rooms to its portfolio by December. These will be through the acquisition of another Holiday Inn with 153 rooms in Gaborone and a management contract under the Best Western brand in Benin City, Nigeria, comprising 80 rooms. New signings include a three star, 201-roomed business hotel, Amber Express in Accra, Ghana, scheduled for completion within the next two years.

Launching the $29 a night budget hotel room in Africa www.easyhotel.com
Lonrho Plc’s wholly owned subsidiary, Lonrho Budget Hotels Ltd, has signed a 20 year master franchise agreement (“MFA”) with easyHotel to open and operate an easyHotel network across Africa. The MFA provides Lonrho with the exclusive rights to the easyHotel brand in Africa and sets out an agreed opening schedule for fifty properties by 2016.
The opening schedule will focus on African destinations already served by easyJet, as well as other large cities across the continent, which have demonstrated significant domestic and international demand for clean, safe and consistent quality branded hotel accommodation.
The hotels will be branded ‘easyHotel.com’ and designated as ‘a Lonrho Hotel’ to build maximum market presence and credibility. The ‘easy’ brand, owned by Sir Stelios Haji-Ioannou, is one of the worlds most recognised and successful value for money brands.
easyHotel is a well established chain of budget hotels based in London with hotels spanning from as far north as Edinburgh and as far south as Dubai, focused on delivering high quality, international-standard bedrooms at an affordable price. Typical easyHotel customers seek a modern, comfortable bedroom for the night, placing a higher priority on exceptional value rather than the peripheral services that make traditional hotels moreexpensive. easyHotel will be the first trans-continental hotel brand in Africa specifically designed to be accessible to many, not a select few. easyHotel’s unique low-cost business model permits the customer to enjoy an international standard bedroom at a highly competitive price.
easyHotel has a sophisticated booking system to maximise customer discounts. Rates vary based on how far in advance the room is booked, personal requirements during a stay and other criteria. This system enableseasyHotel to provide highly competitive accommodation rates starting as low as US$29 per night.
Africa is one of the fastest growing economies in the world. The African market is being stimulated by an increasing inflow of tourist and business visitors combined with an indigenous population of a billion people with a rapidly growing disposable income. (McKinsey forecastthat indigenous African consumer spending will be $1.6 trillion by 2020.)
Commenting on the MFA, David Lenigas, Executive Chairman of Lonrho said: “Lonrho is already a significant brand name across Africa. We believe that combining it with the ‘easy’ brand, which is well-known for highly successful budget operations; to create the Lonrho ‘easyHotel’ chain will satisfy the growing demand from consumers across the continent. Each LonrhoeasyHotel will provide quality, clean, safe, consistent, and branded hotel accommodation from as low as US$29 per night.
“We are delighted to have the exclusive rights to develop the easyHotel concept across Africa. The low-cost value hotel market is currently undeveloped on the continent yet is arguably the fastest growing sector of the global and African hotel markets. Lonrho plans to open the first easyHotel in Africa in 2012 and intends to grow the chain rapidly after that, to more than fifty hotels by 2016, taking the Lonrho easyHotel to the majority of the larger cities across the continent.”
Sir Stelios Haji-Ioannou, Chairman of easyGroup commented: “easyGroup is delighted to be working exclusively with Lonrho to develop the easyHotel network across Africa. We look forward to working closely with Lonrho to establish easyHotel as the pre-eminent pan-African budget hotel chain.
“The economic development of the African market, supported by the significant number of foreign visitors, large scale urbanisation and the growing disposable income of the one billion people in the domestic market,clearly provides demand for a safe, value for money, budget hotel chain of consistent, predictable quality.”

ExecuJet Australasia becomes the first fixed wing operator in the world to obtain BARS accreditation with zero findings
ExecuJet Australasia has officially been accredited as the first Basic Aviation Risk Standard (BARS) fixed wing operator in the world with zero findings and become the second operator worldwide to be registered without restriction against the new risk based standard.
The BARS Program has been developed by the Australian office of the Flight Safety Foundation, the global independent body for aviation safety in conjunction with some of the world's leading resource companies, including BHP Billiton, Lihir Gold, MMG,Rio Tinto, Shell and Xstrata to make flying safer for personnel employed in the resource sector, lifting the global aviation safety standards.
Rio Tinto's principal adviser for Aviation Safety, Geoff Want, said he was delighted that Rio Tinto could partner with the FSF to develop the standard and take aviation safety to new heights. "The BAR Standard Program is significant step forward for the mining and onshore industry and will help progress standards similar to those in other industries such as gas and oil."
Until now individual resource companies had used a variety of aviation standards, impacting on aircraft operators with duplicated efforts and mixed messages. Due to the variety of operation types, geographic diversity and differences in national aviation authorities’ regulatory oversight, the Flight Safety Foundation identified an opportunity to standardise the manner in which independent safety audits are conducted.
The BARS program is a common aviation safety standard for the resource sector, supplementing existing national and international regulations. Based on best-practice aviation safety principles, BARS will make flying safer for those in the resources industry by introducing a standardised safety audit across the sector replacing multiple audits with one review conducted to a rigorous international standard.
"Based on leading aviation industry risk management principles, I am confident that it will improve aviation safety for everyone - companies, operators, employees, their families and supporting communities." Geoff Want added.
“We are very proud to have achieved a zero findings audit and to be the first fixed wing operator globally to do so. Our operations, maintenance and quality teams have done a tremendous job in ensuring our operational and safety standards are maintained to such high standard.” stated Darren McGoldrick, Managing Director ExecuJet Australasia.
Cameron Ross, Group Manager Aviation Safety at BHP and Chair of the BARS Technical Advisory Committee (TAC), said that having a single common standard with the provision of additional safety initiatives will play an important role in raising aviation safety standards across the resource sector. “Together with our industry colleagues, we have been pleased to work with the Foundation to help develop this important standard which can be used to support aviation operations worldwide. Ensuring the ongoing safety of our people remains BHP Billiton’s key priority, and we are delighted to continue our support of the Flight Safety Foundation and particularly their mission of increasing global aviation safety through this standard”.
ExecuJet’s fleet of aircraft is expected to be utilised heavily as the momentum of this new paradigm in aviation standards grows. ExecuJet are experienced in working with resource companies’ particularly in Australia and Africa and also into mine sites in Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, Russia and China.
“We have been a supporter of the common standard and believe in the benefits it will deliver the resource sector and the aviation companies who service them” Darren added.

Mozambique’s Vilanculos Airport was recently re-launched after major renovations.
The construction of the new airport took 13 months to complete at a cost of approximately US$10 million. The total area of the new airport is 7 200 sqm, increasing capacity to 200 000 passengers annually. The airport consists of two departure terminals, a separate domestic terminal and an international arrivals terminal. The airport also boasts three car rental offices.
Safety provisions have also been taken into consideration, with the fire brigade and marshals having their own facilities near the airport. In addition, emergency generators have been placed in strategic areas in and around the airport.
The Mozambican government is making significant investments in airport facilities across the country, with a view to creating better conditions for those looking for tourism opportunities in Mozambique. The upgrade was necessitated by the substantial growth in tourism, particularly international tourism, seen over the last four years in the Inhambane Province.
