Global GSA Group subsidiary Mondial Airline Services has won a general sales agent (GSA) tender to represent Coyne Airways across Germany.
The contract, which has been in place since 17 April but was announced on 19 May, will primarily see Mondial focus on Coyne's scheduled freighter business from Frankfurt via Liège to the Caspian region (Georgia and Armenia), as well as connections to the Middle East, and Africa.
Mondial will support Coyne's two direct Boeing 767 freighter flights out of Liège on Sundays and Tuesdays, to Tbilisi (TBS) in Georgia, and Yerevan (EVN) in Armenia.
Mondial arranges the corresponding truck connections to and from Frankfurt, carrying regular shipments of automotives, car parts, healthcare products, pharmaceuticals, medical equipment, and food.
The contract also encompasses a Gulf service offering a flight network of more than 30 lesser-served destinations across the Middle East and Africa, via transit hubs in Sharjah (SHJ) and Dubai (DWC) in the UAE.
These destinations include Kabul (KBL) in Afghanistan; Baghdad (BGW), Basra (BSR), Erbil (EBL) and Sulaimaniyah (ISU) in Iraq; Asmara (ASM) in Eritrea; Juba (JUB) in South Sudan; and Ndjamena (NDJ) in Chad.
“With its offices in Frankfurt, Dusseldorf, Munich, Stuttgart and Hamburg, and proven sales excellence, we are confident that Mondial will deliver the high-quality response times and customer service levels that our customers at Coyne Airways expect and deserve,” said Larry Coyne, chief executive of Coyne Airways.
“And, as we continue to expand, Mondial will be able to provide the additional resources necessary to meet the increasing demand for our freighter services to the Caucasus region, the Middle East and Africa.”
In March, Mondial was appointed as GSA by AEGEAN for its cargo operations throughout Germany.
Aytekin Saray, chief executive of Global GSA Group, said: "Its service covers the entire spectrum of cargo commodities from pharma to dangerous goods, and connects many of the more challenging and lesser-served destinations, so processes need to be expertly organised and all eventualities considered to ensure the quality expected by its customers."
