The Nelson Mandela Bay Business Chamber (NMBBC) and South African Airways (SAA) have clinched a partnership deal.
Through the deal, Chamber members will receive discounted airfares.
Denise van Huyssteen, Chief Executive Officer at NMBC, said “SAA sees the potential which can be unlocked in the Bay, particularly as the Chamber accelerates its efforts to retain and attract investment to the metro. We are ramping up our efforts to position the metro as the Bay of Opportunity – the diverse manufacturing base on the African continent. Our members have taken enthusiastic ownership of this vision and are actively supporting key initiatives such as our Trade and Investment Desk, Entrepreneurship Desk, Local Economy Reinvention Think Tank and the soon to be launched Skills Development Desk.”
Vimla Maistry, SAA’s Head of Corporate Affairs, said “the partnership with the Chamber is an exciting opportunity for SAA to support the business community in the Bay. By offering discounted fares, we are not only making travel more accessible, but we are also contributing to the growth and development of local businesses.”
