First
time this week in Sao Paulo, ATC Aviation Services, the fast growing
global cargo GSSA with offices in Europe, Africa, Asia, and North America,
“is now also targeting growth in South America,” according
to company CEO Ingo Zimmer.
“Together with AWT—one of
the leading passenger GSSAs in South America—we are spreading
the ATC brand in a first step across Brazil, Argentina, Ecuador, and
Panama,” Mr. Zimmer said.
“In the second stage of development
ATC will expand our service offering across 7 countries in South America.
“ATC’s Director for South
and Middle America is Rene Weinberg, (right in above photo),
a former top level Lufthansa executive,” Ingo Zimmer announced.
South America underway, ATC is viewing
Africa.
“We are already in South Africa
but are going to add three more countries in the region,” Ingo
assures.
“The ATC Platinum purchase in the
United States is a story of success.
“The company has been branded ATC
Aviation and we are more than satisfied with the results of 2013 that
saw business jump by 20 percent, even in a tough business climate.”
Looking ahead, Ingo declares:
“Similar to the business climate
in the USA, the current European market shows significant increases
for us.
“In most of the European countries
we serve, our business numbers are equal to projections or running ahead.
“Big contracts like Etihad in Germany,
and Scandinavia, have been renewed.
“Another company, Air Cargo Global,
received their AOC, and ATC landed the GSSA contract for Austria and
Denmark, for which we are very pleased.
“ATC has been appointed GSSA by
SRX for multiple European countries.
Other new business includes Pegasus, a
Turkish carrier that ATC is servicing in multiple European countries.
“ANA, our customer in Germany, added
an additional daily DUS flight and now serves this important gateway
with four flights a day.
“Ethiopian Airlines launches four
daily widebody operations to and from Vienna.”
ATC has served as Ethiopian GSSA for the past ten years.
In Paris, France, ATC landed Cameroun
Airlines, a new online customer.
