In a strategic effort to bolster its operations in Southeast Asia, China Cargo Airlines has named Tam Group as its General Sales and Service Agent (GSSA) in the Philippines. This marks the third region where Tam Group has taken on this role, following Malaysia and Vietnam.
The collaboration is anticipated to unlock significant growth opportunities for both companies, expanding their presence in the fast-growing Southeast Asian logistics market. China Cargo Airlines currently operates five weekly flights from Manila to Shanghai and three from Cebu to Shanghai, using A320 series aircraft for these key routes.
The flights between the Philippines and China play a vital role in facilitating trade and commerce, connecting businesses and consumers across these two dynamic markets. The airline's services support the timely transport of goods, including perishables and electronics, enhancing economic ties and logistics capabilities between the countries.
Notably, this agreement facilitates same-day delivery of perishables to major cities in Eastern China via Road Feeder Service (RFS), utilising the region's earliest flight schedules. This service is expected to boost the growth of the Philippines' export industry, particularly in the agriculture and food sectors.
Alvin Tam, Senior Vice President of Tam Group, expressed his excitement about the partnership, stating, “We are excited to deepen our partnership with China Cargo Airlines in the Philippines. This appointment not only enhances our regional footprint but also enables us to deliver improved services and support for their operations".
This partnership between China Cargo Airlines and Tam Group positions them to tap into the rising demand for air cargo services in Southeast Asia, especially in the Philippines. The companies are dedicated to delivering outstanding services and support, reinforcing their foothold in the region
