GSSA – KHT AVIATION

WHAT IS A GSSA?

GSSA/ GSA stand for General Sales and Services Agent/ General Sales Agent. Essentially, this means airlines operating into a particular country would entrust KHT AVIATION with exclusive selling rights of their cargo capacity at agreed terms. This usually happens when airlines find it more effective costs to appoint an agent in territories which GSA would be bringing more profitable than the airlines’ own bases.

As well as selling the airline’s cargo capacity, a GSSA can also offer a wide range of services to its partner: revenue management, IT solutions, communications, handling, business intelligence, strategy, customer services, cargo tracking, GHA supervision, safety and more.

GSSAs work in constant interaction with Freight Forwarders, Airlines and GHAs addressing a wide range of complex and unpredictable issues. As well as meeting the needs and requirements of its partner airlines, a GSSA must also satisfy its other customers, primarily freight forwarders. This means that GSSA plays important and essential role in air cargo transportation and particularly in the Aviation industry.
