Glasgow Prestwick Airport (GPA) has appointed Colin Dai country sales director, China
The appointment follows the recent launch of GPA’s e-commerce solution in partnership with Royal Mail Group, and is intended to foster business relationships across China.
Colin Dai brings over 25 years of experience in aviation and e-commerce, spearheading Chinese business for several international airlines, including Qatar Airways and Virgin Atlantic.
“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,” he said.
“My focus will be on meeting these rising business needs by introducing GPA’s services to Chinese companies, leveraging the airport’s location, facilities, and partnership with Royal Mail.”
GPA recently invested over £2m in new cargo equipment as part of the ongoing development of its freight services, and now offers one of the fastest turnaround times for air cargo in the UK.
“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,” said Nico Le Roux, business development director, GPA.
“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.”
The airport’s 24/7 operations, with no flight restrictions or curfews, provide an added advantage for businesses that require fast turnaround times.
