Cargo counts appoints new GSA in Turkey

German air freight specialist cargo counts has appointed SP Aviation Services Inc as its new general sales agent (GSA) for Turkey.

The latter, which is headquartered in Istanbul and also recently opened a new office in Izmir, will be solely responsible for marketing the air freight capacity of cargo counts' partner airlines. The main carrier, besides Condor, Croatia Airlines and euroAtlantik, is the Turkish holiday airline SunExpress.

According to cargo counts, SP Aviation Services fought off competition from several internationally-established companies to win the tender. "With our bases in Istanbul, Antalya and Izmir we can guarantee cargo counts a high degree of customer proximity in Turkey, which is a growth market," said Nursel Gueven, director sales and marketing at SP Aviation. "Our local proximity to SunExpress will also simplify sales and handling enormously and enable us to respond quickly and flexibly to all our customers' wishes."
