American Airlines Cargo has picked G Force GSA Mexico as its general sales agent (GSA) for Mexico following the retirement of its current GSA.

G Force will be responsible for selling American’s services in Mexico City as of 1 July, as well as establishing a local sales presence in Cancun, Guadalajara, Leon, Puerto Vallarta and Monterrey.

The GSA will provide local services throughout Mexico, bringing local expertise about American’s entire product portfolio and vast global network as well as a higher level of customer service in these fast-growing markets.

American Airlines Cargo GSA contract manager, Shanna Abbott says Mexico is very important for the airline’s network with high demand for products including pharmaceuticals, auto parts and seafood.

She says: “Having G Force represent us throughout Mexico will enhance service for our customers who ship to or from these key cities. A local presence is a sure-fire way for us to ensure that each customer’s needs are being met.”

G Force station manager, Marcel Barjau says: “Our team has experience in cargo with a variety of airlines and logistics venues. We have a unique understanding of the needs of customers and of our local markets.”

“And we are very much looking forward to working with American Airlines Cargo, adding to the strength of their international cargo network and these growing areas.”
