Sep 21, 2020 (newstodate): The Ukrainian cargo carrier Eleron is continuing to build up its market presence through new cargo GSSA-contracts.
   After announcing last week the signing of an exclusive GSSA agreement with the Dutch-owned Mondial Airlines Services covering the German market, Eleron is out again with new exclusive GSSA agreements covering seven European markets.
   The UK-based AIA Cargo, Airbridge International Agencies, has thus been contracted to provide cargo sales and marketing services in the UK and Ireland, Austria and Switzerland, as well as Poland, Hungary and Romania.
   Eleron's first airline partnership was established with airBaltic at Riga Airport, and negotiations are progressing with airlines including KLM and TAP for expansions into new airports in Europe including Amsterdam, Lisbon and Madrid.   
   Eleron performed its first rotation between Kiev and Riga on January 17, 2020, later adding also flights between Lviv and Riga with AN-26 rotations lifting some 5.5 tonnes.
   The routes carry incoming ex-China e-trade shipments by Atran from Moscow Sheremetyevo Airport into Riga for transfer to Ukraine, and lift mail shipments from Ukraine back to Riga for onward transportation on other carriers including airBaltic and Lufthansa.
