General Sales and Service Agent, ATC Aviation, has been appointed by Delta Cargo as their GSSA for the German market, effective 01JUL25. Previously, Delta’s sales team had marketed the underfloor capacity of passenger aircraft on routes from Germany to the USA on its own, while at the same time shipments trucked to Amsterdam or Paris CDG were marketed by SkyTeam partners Air France Cargo and KLM Cargo. The partial withdrawal of Delta from the joint venture agreement that included a variety of sales accords has caused irritation among the participants, insiders have confirmed to CargoForwarder Global. At the same time, they emphasized that Delta’s move does not represent a break in the transatlantic alliance, which has also included Virgin Atlantic since 2020.
According to ATC, the partnership signals a new phase of growth for both companies, enhancing Delta’s sales and service capabilities in Germany. “This appointment is a testament to our team’s dedication and deep understanding of the regional market,” lauded Ingo Zimmer, CEO Aviation Services. “We are excited to represent Delta Cargo and are confident in our ability to grow their presence and performance across Germany.” With its extensive global network and innovative product offerings, Delta Cargo delivers world-class service on nearly 5,000 daily flights to approximately 300 destinations across six continents. In Germany the U.S. carrier serves Frankfurt, Munich, Düsseldorf, Berlin and Stuttgart.
1971 founded ATC Aviation plays in the global league of renown GSSA, representing dozens of cargo carriers, among them Ethiopian Cargo, Avianca Cargo, Cebu Pacific, ANA Cargo, Korean Air Cargo, Saudia Cargo among others.
