MAR 26, 2004 (newstodate): Provider of GSSA services, Kales Airline Services is in the process of settting up an own office in the Baltics.
-Plans are to start with an office in Vilnius, Lithuania, to cover the three Baltic markets, but as demands and business volumes grow we will eventually be present in all three countries, says Robert Christensson, Kales exec VP.
Initial plans include a set-up in Vilnius manned by two people to handle sales and operations, respectively.
-In a way we are already present in the Baltic markets as several of our current contract with airlines include coverage of the Baltic markets as well, says Mr Christensson.
-Airfreight volumes are modest as the Baltic airfreight markets are still little matured, but the growth rates are impressive, and with the three countries' entry into the EU by May we will undoubtedly witness a boost in volumes as well, he says.
-Forwarders and shippers still think mainly in terms of seafreight and trucking as for the Baltic markets, with airfreight considered an issue of the future. I suspect that this will soon change significantly, says Robert Christensson.
