India’s dynamic and rapidly expanding cargo market presents immense opportunities and GAC’s extensive experience, strong presence and commitment to excellence will be instrumental in strengthening our operations in this crucial market. We are confident that this collaboration will enable us to better serve our customers and capitalise on the growing trade between India and the UAE, particularly after the recent Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (CEPA).”

Ravi Ramachandran, managing director - GAC India, added: “We look forward to representing the airline and promoting its services as their cargo sales agent. To do so, we shall work with the SolitAir team to develop and implement a bespoke marketing and sales strategy to penetrate key markets and win customers.
