Since 2016, GAC TR had already been one of the Egyptian airline’s Preferred Sales Agents. Three years later, it is becoming its exclusive contact for managing marketing of its cargo capacity and its other services within the region.
“We have been the PSA for MS (Egyptair) since mid-2016 and have had the chance to see that MS is very innovative and open to new ideas. To be chosen as the GSA for Egyptair and have the opportunity to continue serving them is very exciting – exciting to know that we can be a part of their continuous development,” said Nursel Guven, Managing Director at GAC TR.
Based in Istanbul and founded in 2015, GAC TR now has seven employees and can boast a diverse and constantly growing portfolio of clients and partners.
The aim for the ECS Group subsidiary is to develop and secure freight opportunities for the client for both current and future destinations, as well as to use the partnership as a chance to increase recruitment and accelerate its growth.
“With the new GSA contract, we will have opportunities to cooperate with MS on new routes and projects, which will demand high levels of skill in project development and sales,” added Nursel Guven.
