It is the objective of this tender to provide maximum value to the communities of each jurisdiction. To achieve this we are seeking a safe means of travel through negotiated international air route deals with specific airlines.
Airlines that do not have full coverage are encouraged to tender for all routes and/or part routes either as a sole carrier or code share carrier.
