British Airways World Cargo has announced the appointment of a new BA World Cargo customer service team in Thailand.

From November 3, the new team has replaced Qantas Freight, the carrier’s previous general sales agent (GSA) in Thailand, and will be based in a new office at WFS-PG Cargo Suvarnabhumi Airport.

The creation of the new sales office - established following an agreement with Qantas Freight - represents a significant boost to BA World Cargo’s operations in Thailand, where the carrier aims to build on its recent solid performance.

BA World Cargo serves Thailand with seven weekly B747-400 line flights, which route London-Bangkok-Sydney-Bangkok-London and feed into its global network of 200 destinations in more than 80 countries.

Latha Narayan, area commercial manager, South-East Asia and Australasia, BA World Cargo, said: “This appointment is a positive step forward for BA World Cargo in Thailand and demonstrates our commitment to customers in the region. We’re looking forward to strengthening the support we can give to customers wishing to take advantage of our unrivalled network.”
