Swiss WorldCargo resumes contract with Globe Air Cargo Bulgaria
Common goal: Strong focus and expertise on high-value cargo into and out of Bulgaria.
Swiss WorldCargo has resumed its partnership with Globe Air Cargo Bulgaria w.e.f. June 1, 2024.
"The long-standing local partnership dates back to 2008, and has now been re-adjusted to work closely again. In view of a closer collaboration, Globe Air Cargo hired an additional team member, who will be dedicated to work closely with Swiss WorldCargo," says an official release from Swiss WorldCargo.
The two companies have renewed the 16-year contract, which sees the leading GSSA in Bulgaria carry out sales, booking, messaging, operational supervision, post-flight activities and claims, on behalf of Switzerland’s prestigious national air cargo carrier, the release added.
“Globe Air Cargo was proud to represent Swiss WorldCargo when it first began cargo operations in Bulgaria back in 2008, and we are more than delighted to welcome them back after a six-year gap," says Tania Mlechenkova, Managing Director, Globe Air Cargo Bulgaria. "In fact, our joint contract was never terminated during all this time, which goes to show the value that trust and reliability create in a partnership. It was clear from our initial face-to-face tender meeting, 16 years ago, that our two companies share a strong common interest in providing exceptional customer service through long-term stability and expertise. That is the credo we follow.”
Swiss WorldCargo operates an A220 service between Zurich and Sofia, offering Bulgarian freight forwarders attractive connections across Europe, North and South America and the Far East. The carrier has specialised in high-value, care-intensive and temperature-sensitive cargo such as valuables, perishables and pharmaceuticals along with its X-Presso transportation solution, the release added.
“Special cargo shipments require particular care and professional attention. Globe Air Cargo has the expertise to handle these needs efficiently and precisely. To further strengthen our capabilities, we’ve recently added a fully-trained team member, ensuring even more dedicated support for Swiss WorldCargo,” adds Mlechenkova.
Gieri Hinnen, Head, Cargo Global Sales, Swiss WorldCargo says: “Our expertise in transporting shipments that require extra care and the high quality of our services is reflected in the high quality work of the partners we collaborate with. This is also the case for Globe Air Cargo, who allows us to keep providing our cargo customers in Bulgaria with the extra care treatment they are accustomed to. We are glad to re-establish our partnership with Globe Air Cargo for a continuous and consistent service to our customers.”
