Hong-Kong headquartered GSSA TAM Group has announced the opening of three offices in southeast Asia.
In response to growing demand in the region, TAM Group has embarked on joint ventures with Thailand’s GP Group and Vietnam’s TP Cargo Transport Services to launch offices in Bangkok, Thailand and Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi in Vietnam.
TAM Group said: “The move signifies a return to normality for Asia-Pacific’s aviation industry as the world looks beyond the COVID-19 pandemic and into the future. While the global economy has been hampered by multiple headwinds, the region is set to continue along the path to recovery, thanks to burgeoning global and regional free trade agreements.”
In Thailand, TAM Group has partnered with GP Group, a Thailand-based strategic investment group with companies in diverse sectors, from logistics and pharmaceuticals to aviation and
technology.
In Thailand, one of the first partners is Swan Hellenic, a British cruise line specialising in expedition tours of historical or cultural interest aimed at the higher end of the cruise market.
Meanwhile in Vietnam, TAM Group’s partner is cargo GSA/GSSA operator TP Cargo Transport Services.
Additionally, TAM Group was selected by China Cargo Airlines (CK) as the representative company for the carrier, effective early 2023. CK will operate four flights each week between Hanoi and Shanghai and one weekly flight between Ho Chi Minh City and Kunming.
Alvin Tam, vice president, commercial of TAM Group, said: “I am honoured to have two great partners in the region that will help cater to our clients’ needs, and I am confident of a mutually beneficial partnership with all our stakeholders.”
