GSSA TAM Group has opened a new office in Mexico as it responds to strong growth for its business based in the Americas.
The new office is located in Colonia Molino del Rey, Mexico City, and will serve as TAM’s operational hub for Mexico.
It is the third office the company has opened in Latin America following its entry into the market in 2016 when it added a presence in Chile. The company also has an office in Brazil, while in North America there is a presence in the US.
“This strategic location aims to strengthen relationships with existing partners while actively pursuing new opportunities within Mexico’s significant air cargo sector,” TAM said.
The company achieved a 23% year-on-year growth in volumes in the Americas last year, managing a total of over 1,500 flights for key partners, including Aerolineas Argentinas, Air China Cargo, China Southern Airlines, MIAT Cargo, Saudi Cargo, Skyworld, and the newly appointed Fits Air, JetBlue Airways, and Starlux.
Fernando Garreton, vice president for the Americas at TAM Group, said: “Mexico is a crucial market for TAM Group as we expand our network throughout the Americas.
“Establishing our new office in Mexico City not only demonstrates our dedication to delivering outstanding service to our airline partners and customers, but also underscores our ambition to contribute significantly to Mexico’s and Latin America’s vibrant cargo industry.
“We anticipate a surge in trade between this region and Asia, especially with countries such as China and Southeast Asia. This office will be central to providing our stakeholders with top-tier cargo solutions.”
The development comes as many expect companies to utilise Latin America as a gateway into the US in response to tariffs from incoming president Donald Trump.
This would lead to a rise in air cargo demand into Latin America.
