Virgin Atlantic Cargo chooses SkyXS as its first GSA in Poland

2012 04 14


VIRGIN Atlantic Cargo has appointed SkyXS as its first-ever general sales agent in Poland.

From Poland, the carrier has commenced daily trucking services to London to connect with its wide-body flights to the US, Africa, the Middle East, Asia and Australia. Customers will now have access to Virgin Atlantic Cargo's network of 350 destinations around the world, a company statement said.

"Many of the manufacturers in Poland work with Virgin Atlantic Cargo in other regions so we have been closely monitoring the Poland market since we extended our GSA coverage to Hungary and Czech Republic in 2010," said Virgin Atlantic Cargo sales vice president Nick Jones.

Since being founded in 2002, the SkyXS Group has bolstered its presence with the acquisition of the Central and eastern European branches of the Danish group WECO in 2006, which were renamed under the ASN brand. At present, SkyXS and ASN operate in 13 countries, generating gross revenues in excess of EUR40 million (US$52.46 million).

Ger Daniels, managing director of SkyXS, said: "Adding Virgin Atlantic Cargo to our network in Poland is a perfect reinforcement of our airline portfolio in terms of carriers and their networks. It's a great honour for us to sign our first GSA contract with Virgin Atlantic Cargo. I believe the airline has made a good choice in deciding to extend its Central and Eastern European cargo network to serve Poland's growing economy."
