Flybe, Europe’s largest regional airline, has appointed Air Logistics as its General Sales and Service Agent (GSSA) in the United Kingdom and networkwide. The exclusive GSSA agreement will take effect from 1st August 2012, and Air Logistics will provide the UK-based carrier with full cargo sales, marketing and customer service support across its network.

 The new GSSA agreement is a timely development as Flybe prepares to strengthen its operations including the expansion of services from East Midlands.

 “Flybe is at the forefront of the European regional aviation industry with an extensive network of destinations across the UK and Europe. We are confident that the new services from East Midlands will be a great addition and that we can continue to build the cargo business across the network,” said Chris O’Donnell, General Manager UK, Air Logistics.

“In Air Logistics, we are confident that we have chosen a partner capable of providing the selling expertise, fast response times and service levels that are synonymous with Flybe’s expectations,” comments Dale Walker, Cargo Manager, Flybe: “With experienced staff and offices located at London Heathrow and East Midlands Airports, Air Logistics is well positioned to provide effective coverage of the UK and the wider global network.”

Air Logistics is a strategic operation within the Air Logistics Group, the Paris-headquartered worldwide GSSA company, and benefits from additional support and expertise from the group’s global network.
