The appointment with DHL positions AVS GSA Services to leverage Malaysia's expanding role as a manufacturing and transhipment hub
ECS Group subsidiary, AVS GSA Services has become the new general sales agent (GSA) for DHL Aviation in Malaysia.
AVS GSA Services is now managing scheduled DHL Aviation freighter services out of the country. From Kuala Lumpur, DHL Aviation operates flights to Singapore and Hong Kong. From Penang, the airline operates flights to Hong Kong, with additional capacity available via RFS connections through Singapore.
From Singapore, DHL offers onward connections to primary export destinations in China, Japan, Thailand, India and Korea, as well as Australia, the US, Europe and the Middle East.
DHL Aviation operates dedicated freighters across the Asia Pacific region, including Airbus A320 and Boeing 767 aircraft.
Jean Ceccaldi, chief executive of ECS Group, said: “DHL Aviation’s Malaysian business has experienced rapid growth over the past two years, driven by the country’s role as a fast-rising manufacturing and transhipment hub within DHL’s intra-Asia network.
"Malaysia was identified as one of DHL’s top 20 growth markets and multimillion investments have been made in fortifying Kuala Lumpur’s and Penang’s logistics infrastructure.
"AVS GSA’s proven commercial expertise will now enhance DHL Aviation’s service, ensuring optimum load factors on DHL Aviation’s flights and road feeder services out of Malaysia’s two main cargo hubs.”
Malaysia’s main export commodities include complex electrical and electronic products such as semiconductors, sensors, and printed circuit components, medical and pharmaceutical goods, and e-commerce.
AVS GSA managing director Yussof Amiroel stated: “Our team will combine local experience with leading digital commercial software to ensure outstanding sales results and top-quality customer service, particularly in view of the high-value export shipments out of Malaysia.”
