Air Malta appoints Network Airline Services to enlarge cargo footprint
AIR Malta has appointed Network Airline Services (NAS), a global leader in the field, as its Total Cargo Management (TCM) service provider, reports Malta Today.
The appointment, with a go-live date of June 1, follows an adjudicating process after the issuance of an international request for proposals to which a number of market leaders showed interest.
According to Air Malta, the TCM concept is viewed as an increasingly popular solution by a number of airlines and this solution is expected to generate new business opportunities from various sources while the airline concentrates on its core business of being a passenger airline.
Apart from a guaranteed income to Air Malta, this project will generate cost savings in terms of better synergy shared between Air Malta and NAS across important functions such as sales and marketing, pricing and revenue management, cargo reservations, revenue accounting, back-office administration, IT systems, cargo handling and interline contracts.
Said Air Malta cargo sales and marketing chief John Vella: "With over 30 years air cargo management experience, NAS is positioned to assist Air Malta's plans and projects that will transform the way we conduct business."
Said NAS sales chief John Gilfeather: "We are all looking forward to working with Air Malta staff, suppliers and customers. NAS has a proven track record of growing airlines cargo revenues by building a carrier's brand and targeting new revenue streams."
