  • Brussels Airport to Host Pharma Shippers Forum at AIR CARGO AFRICA 2017
    Brussels Airport to host Pharma Shippers Forum at AIR CARGO AFRICA 2017 Johannesburg, October 5, 2016: :Brussels Airport, the preferred gateway in Europe for pharmaceuticals and the cold chain industry, is organising the Pharma Shippers Forum at AIR CARGO AFRICA 2017, the 4th edition of the international biennial air cargo exhibition and networking conference, organised by The STAT Trade Times, the flagship publication from the global multimodal transport media specialist the STAT Media Group. AIR CARGO AFRICA 2017 is scheduled to be held from February 21-23, 2017 at the Emperor's Palace, South Africa. The Pharma Shippers Forum, scheduled for the inaugural day, is one of the key highlights of the three-day event that will bring industry heads together to discuss issues related to policy, regulation and identify and solve the issues faced by pharmaceutical shippers in the African continent. According to a report by McKinsey, the value of Africa's pharmaceutical industry is continuing at a rapid pace with predictions that the market will be worth $40 billion to $65 billion by 2020. The pharmaceutical market in Africa is currently 70% imported. Africa's capacity for pharmaceutical research and design (R&D) and local drug production is amongst the lowest in the world. The supply of African pharmaceuticals remains highly dependent on foreign funding and imports. In the absence of a pan-African pharma regulatory body, global pharmaceutical companies need to invest in local partnerships to understand varying regulatory environments. Partnerships with governments is also of prime importance. The Pharma Shippers Forum by Brussels Airport, in its second edition, will look at leveraging the synergies in the trade lane between Europe and Africa.

  • Annual Report 2018
    Important notice to foreign shareholders and prospective investors Foreign shareholders and prospective investors in Comair limited (“Comair”) should note that the airline industry in South Africa is subject to extensive government and regulatory oversight relating to, amongst other things, restrictions on foreign ownership. Sections 16(4)(c) and 19(a) of the Air Services Licensing Act, No. 115 of 1990, (“Act”) requires that a minimum of 75% of the voting rights in a licensee must be held by residents of South Africa (“Foreign Ownership Restriction”). In order to ensure that Comair (as a licensed air services operator in South Africa), remains compliant with the foreign ownership restriction, Comair has adopted a variable voting share structure in terms of which the voting rights attached to each ordinary share held by foreign shareholders will be decreased proportionately if (i) the number of ordinary shares held by foreign shareholders on the record date of any shareholders’ meeting exceed 24.99% or (ii) the total number of votes cast by or on behalf of foreign shareholders at such a meeting exceed 24.99% such that the voting rights of foreign shareholders do not, in aggregate, exceed 24.99%. Foreign shareholders and prospective investors are referred to the Comair’s Memorandum of Incorporation and website (www.comair.co.za) for further details. If foreign shareholders or prospective investors are in any doubt as to what action to take they should seek advice from their broker, attorney or other professional adviser. Our Passion Everyday
