Aufg 23, 2011 (newstodate): In business since May 2009, the Lithuanian cargo GSA Strike Aviation LT, with headquarters at Vilnius, Lithuania, is expanding and spreading out with plans for new offices.
-We have seen growth beyond our expectations and are intent on growing further with the markets, says Andrius Antanaitis, JSC Strike Aviation LT General Manager.
-From the start we served four airlines, and our portfolio has now grown to comprise nine airline in four countries. So far we have been serving our customers from the office in Vilnius, but from September 1, 2011, we will be present in the Polish market with an own office at Warsaw Chopin Airport, with one or two staff from the start.
-From the new office in Warsaw we will also be able to serve our new airline client in Poland, Estonian Air that is off-line in the market but attracting more and more business.
-In Poland we will be managing RFS services for Estonian Air as well as seeking interline agreements to enhance the airline's services in the market. Estonian Air is attractive in Poland for its routes to among others Russia and Ukraine. We will also look into serving Estonian Air with imports into Poland from Frankfurt, Amsterdam and Brussels.
-Further down the line are plans to open also a new office in Riga, Latvia, either in 2011 or in 2012. We are currently involved in tenders in this market, and as the Latvian carrier airBaltic is very strong in its home market, we have to be equally aggressive to secure a position for the airlines we represent there. Therefore, an own office is needed, says Mr Antanaitis.
