JAN 22, 2004 (newstodate): Australian GSA, Wexco Aviation Services hopes for a revitalisation of its business with Yugoslav carrier JAT.
-Prior to the sanctions, JAT was the third oldest airline servicing Australia, says David Williams, Wexco Aviation Services managing director.
-Wexco had built a very large cargo business between Australia, USA and Europe using Belgrade as the hub. We were actually the first real carrier/GSA to develop a hub and spokes-operation, he says.
-The sanctions changed all that, but as the airline continues to grow again we will continue to look at opportunities, says David Williams.
Earlier, Wexco provided sales and support for JAT Airlines cargo throughout Australia and New Zealand. This involved sale of cargo capacity on the twice-weekly flights to Belgrade with onward connections through JAT's extensive network.
When JAT withdrew direct services to Australia, Wexco restructured its services to move cargo to Yugoslavia, Europe and the Middle East on JAT utilising the on-line service of China Eastern Airlines to Beijing connecting with JAT for on-forwarding to the shipments' final destinations.
