The global GSSA, Air Logistics Group, continues to expand its wings with the opening of its 49th office located in Tel Aviv, Israel. The office has been opened by Roni Samocha, Country Manager Israel, who holds 24 years previous experience in the aviation field and for the last 11 years managed a leading Israeli GSSA company.

  “Israel is a competitive and rapidly developing market which has become a key area for multinational companies to establish operations such as DGF, UTI, Kuehne & Nagel and Expeditors. Additionally, the airline industry has found that Israel is becoming more and more attractive for passenger traffic, which bring in new airlines, new routes and wider aircrafts” Comments Samocha. The recent opening of the group’s Israeli office during February 2008 follows the launch of offices in Turkey and Hong Kong during the latter part of 2007. This brings the Air Logistics Group worldwide coverage to a total of 49 offices across 25 countries.

“Our expansion into these new countries is a strategic step in the process of growing our global network. All three offices are managed by small and dynamic teams of airfreight professionals boasting a wealth of local knowledge. We very much look forward to developing business from these regions that perfectly enhance the Air Logistics Group growth strategy.” Concludes Helmut Mair, Worldwide Managing Director, Air Logistics Group.
