British Airways World Cargo’s general sales agreement with Tampa Cargo

British Airways World Cargo acaba de firmar un acuerdo con Tampa Cargo, compañía cargo líder en Latinoamérica, para ser un Agente General de Ventas (GSA). Este acuerdo que entrará en vigor el próximo 18 de mayo de 2009, permitirá a BA World Cargo comercializar en Estados Unidos y originar capacidad de carga a través de la totalidad de la red operativa de Tampa Cargo, a excepción de Miami.

Effective 18-May-09, this business partnership will see BA World Cargo trained staff selling US-originating cargo capacity across Tampa Cargo's entire US network, excluding Miami.

Following the buyout of Tampa Cargo by Colombian flag-carrier Avianca in 2008, Tampa Cargo now manages both freighter and bellyhold capacity on behalf of the airline from three online and 19 offline origins across the US.

 Vice President, Commercial, the Americas, BA World Cargo Joe LeBeau, announced "This is an exciting and mutually beneficial agreement in the US. Our industry is facing unprecedented challenges and this deal marks an important new revenue stream for our US business. Tampa Cargo offers an extensive US network and we are confident that the agreement will enhance its business proposition in the coming months."

 Executive Director, Tampa Cargo Rodrigo Plata, stated "We are very pleased to be part of this unique agreement and are confident that BA World Cargo's strong and effective sales team will deliver a real benefit to our activities in the US."
