Amenity Kit Bags and Inner Contents

1. Scope – All Items

This specification covers the materials and requirements for the Business Class

Amenity Kit Bags for South African Airways, with inner contents (as detailed below).

The SAA Brand & Value Proposition:

It is critical for SAA that we build a globally consistent, differentiated product that links

strongly to our brand image to ensure SAA is a preferred carrier in the market place.

These Amenity Kits are provided to our Business Class and Economy Class

customers to enhance the comfort and luxury of their journey, and are an important

aspect of building brand loyalty with these valuable customers.

These Amenity Kits are an important way of how most airlines differentiate

themselves from their competitors, it is often an important touch point for airlines to

open up a dialogue with their passengers and each bag tells a new story about the

airline/brand.

SAA is a member of the Star Alliance:

SAA is a proud member of the Star Alliance network, the largest Global Branded

Alliance on earth established in 1997 as the first truly global alliance to offer

customers worldwide reach and a smooth travel experience.

Skytrax:

Skytrax Research Audits are conducted every year to provide each of the

participating airlines with a detailed analysis of the different front-line product and

service areas. In addition, these audits are the basis for the competitive performance

analysis (annual rankings).

Since 2002 SAA has participated in these assessments. It is very important for SAA

to keep top rankings. The quality of cosmetic products offered to business

passengers are rated as part of this audit.

Amenity Kit Bags for Business Class Customers

SAA has partnered with 4 South African high-end fashion designers to produce a total of 5

Business Class Amenity Kit bags for Business Class customers. Each bag is individual in its

design and material composition and will form part of the South African Airways Designer Bag

Collection.

All illustrations/designs/patterns have been removed for the purpose of the RFI in order to

safeguard and protect the Intellectual Property of the Designers at this stage. Open file

artwork will be supplied for the production of the bags on award of the contract.
