GGG appoints Wang as it targets growth in Taiwan

Global GSA Group (GGG) has appointed Kevin Wang to head up its business in Taiwan as the sales agency looks to capitalise on fast-growing high-tech cargo demand from the island.

In his new Taiwan managing director role, Wang will take responsibility for overall management, operational performance, business development and full P&L accountability.

“He will lead the local team, improve operational quality, develop airline partnerships and strengthen relationships with freight forwarders and key customers,” said GGG.

His immediate priority is to strengthen Global GSA Group’s position in Taiwan and “establish the company as a trusted commercial partner for airlines in the market”, the company added.

This will involve deepening existing relationships, improving service and commercial performance and identifying new partnership opportunities.

Wang has 30 years of airline experience covering headquarters responsibilities and overseas management roles in Dallas, Manila, Bangkok and Xiamen.

In cargo, his roles have spanned sales and commercial management, revenue management, network planning and operations.

“This will provide an airline management perspective that can help partners improve route performance, optimise revenue and identify new opportunities,” the GSA said.

Aytekin Saray, chief executive, GGG, said: “Kevin brings extensive airline experience and a strong understanding of the local market, which will be key as we continue to develop our presence in Taiwan.

“His appointment reflects our approach to growth: combining the strength of our global network with experienced local leadership to create greater commercial value for our airline partners.”

Wang added: “After many years in the air cargo industry, I wanted to take on a different perspective and use my experience to help more airlines develop their cargo business in Taiwan and create greater commercial value, rather than serving only a single airline.”

He added: “Taiwan’s importance to global high-tech manufacturing provides considerable air cargo potential. Semiconductors, including ICs and wafers, AI servers, server racks, GPUs, PCBs, drones, automotive parts, precision equipment and premium seasonal fruit continue to support export demand and reinforce Taiwan’s role in international supply chains.”

Wang said that North America and Europe remain key long-haul trade lanes, while Southeast Asian markets such as Singapore and Kuala Lumpur also offer strong growth potential.

“High-growth cargo sectors we can serve include semiconductors, AI equipment, electronics, pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, temperature-controlled freight and cross-border e-commerce,” he said.
