In an increasingly competitive air cargo market, airlines are looking for ways to optimise capacity, boost revenue, and streamline operations. General Sales & Service Agents (GSSAs) play a critical role in achieving these goals by acting as an extension of an airline’s commercial team.
By leveraging market expertise, established industry connections, and targeted sales strategies, a strong GSSA partnership can drive significant revenue growth. Here’s how.
Optimising Capacity with Smarter Sales Strategies
Every empty cargo space on a flight represents lost potential revenue. GSSAs work proactively to secure freight bookings and ensure airlines operate at maximum efficiency.
At Wexco, this means:
- Identifying high-demand routes and matching them with available capacity
- Using real-time market insights to drive cargo sales
- Strengthening relationships with freight forwarders to increase bookings
Through a data-driven approach, Wexco ensures that airlines make strategic decisions about cargo capacity, leading to better yields and higher profitability.
Expanding Market Reach and Visibility
A GSSA does more than manage bookings—it helps airlines expand their market presence. By tapping into well-established relationships with freight forwarders, GSSAs extend an airline’s reach beyond its existing sales network.
Wexco provides:
- A dedicated sales team to actively promote airline cargo services
- Local market expertise to identify new business opportunities
- A targeted approach to marketing, ensuring increased visibility across key channels
This strategic outreach means more freight forwarders choose Wexco’s airline partners for their shipments, increasing both volume and revenue.
Reducing Administrative Burdens for Airlines
Managing cargo sales, marketing, and performance tracking requires significant resources. A GSSA takes on these responsibilities, allowing airlines to focus on core operations while benefiting from expert-driven cargo management.
Wexco offers:
- Detailed performance analytics to help airlines make informed business decisions
- 24/7 support for freight forwarders to facilitate seamless operations
- A CRM-driven approach to monitor sales, capacity, and bookings
With Wexco as a partner, airlines gain a specialised sales force without the overhead of an in-house team, allowing them to optimise operations and increase efficiency.
