GUEST: Chantal Seraho - SAA Country Manager: DRC

SAA stands uniquely positioned to be the airline, strategically connecting key mining hubs across the continent and beyond.

An airline at the southern tip of Africa capable of seamlessly flying investors from Australia to Southern Africa, West Africa, and East Africa. Our strategic network also strengthens access for mining companies operating in West Africa, Central Africa, and key regions such as the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and Lubumbashi.

With the recent launch of flights to Dar Es Salaam in January, SAA now provides seamless connectivity for those looking to tap into Tanzania’s rich mineral resources. Furthermore, our cargo services enhance our role in the mining sector by efficiently transporting essential equipment and materials to these critical hubs, solidifying our position as a key enabler of Africa’s mining industry.
