OCT 28, 2004 (newstodate): Big or small market: Lithuania is part of EU now, and universal rules should apply, says a Lithuanian GSA.
-For Kales Airline Services Lithuania, there is no question that agents and forwarders are our sole costumers, says Audrius Lukosevicius
Kales Airline Services Lithuania general manager.
-We have no business with shippers. I must admit that I do not even know how to fill in an AWB, and we do not have the software here to it either. Not should we, he says.
-I cannot see that the size of the market has anything to do with the issue of GSA and forwarder roles. Earlier, we were just a small market outside the European mainstream. But since May this year we are members of the EU and our business now is not restricted to Lithuania, but covers the whole of Western Europe. To Kales there is no specific "Lithuanian" code of conduct, he says.
Set up in July, 2003, Kales Airline Service in Lithuania provides GSA services to Martinair and DASAir, but as member of the Kales network, the office in Vilnius is able to deal with any airline represented by any other Kales office
