Last week FlyingTypers offered a profile of the life and times of Basil Pietersen, the third African born President of the global freight forwarders’ organization FIATA, which is the reference body for all airfreight forwarders in the world.
     We learned on the day after publication that Basil’s son, Basil Mark Pietersen died.
     We offer our deepest sympathies to the Pietersen family.
     Our prayers are with you during this unimaginably tragic and terrible time.
     “I am glad to join Sabiha and Geoffrey to express my deepest sympathy to Bebe and Basil, my good friends in FIATA even beyond my seven years working for the organization in Zurich,” said Marco Sorgetti.
