SAS Cargo takes over Sterling's freight activities
SAS Cargo takes over Sterling's freight activities, formerly Maersk Air
Cargo, from October 1. The takeover includes the freight sales agency
for eight foreign airlines in the Nordic and Baltic countries and also
22 employees.
The acquisition is part of SAS Cargo's long-term strategy for growth and
gaining of market shares and at the same time being able to develop the
freight capacity in close cooperation with the customers. The former
Maersk Air Cargo employees will join a new-established sales agency
organisation (GSA) in SAS Cargo Group.
- With the takeover of this activity a new and exciting chapter in the
SAS Cargo history begins as we will - in addition to our current
business - also focus on growth in the freight agency business and will
be selling freight capacity on aircrafts not owned by the SAS Group.
With this we are able to offer freight customers transport solutions
from the Nordic and Baltic countries, which previously were not
possible, says Kenneth Marx, President and CEO of SAS Cargo Group A/S.
