">Glasgow Prestwick Airport (GPA) has appointed Colin Dai as its country sales director for China. He brings over 25 years of experience in aviation and e-commerce, having work for carriers including Qatar Airways and Virgin Atlantic.
GPA aims to foster business relationships across China, including the e-commerce industry. It recently launched an e-commerce solution in partnership with British postal company Royal Mail Group and has invested over £2 million (US$2.6m) in new cargo equipment, and now claims one of the fastest turnaround times for air cargo in the UK.
Dai said: “With the rapid growth of Chinese e-commerce and demand for it across the UK, there is an increasing need for efficient and reliable international logistics solutions. My focus will be on meeting these rising business needs by introducing GPA’s services to Chinese companies, leveraging the airport’s strategic location, state-of-the-art facilities, and partnership with Royal Mail.”
GPA business development director, Nico Le Roux, added: “China represents one of the most dynamic e-commerce markets globally, and we are excited to have Colin on board to spearhead our efforts in the region. We are committed to providing cost-effective, efficient solutions for e-commerce companies looking to access the UK market, and Colin’s new role is a testament to this.”
GPA will be participating in the Shenzhen Logistics and Supply Chain Expo in September, and the TIACA Air Cargo Forum 2024, from 11-14 November in Miami.
