TAM Group, a leading Global Sales and Service Agent (GSSA) headquartered in Hong Kong, has announced the opening of a new office in Mexico City, strategically positioned to meet the growing demand for air cargo services in Latin America. This expansion complements TAM Group’s robust presence in Chile, the USA, and Brazil, further enhancing its operational capabilities in one of the region's largest and most dynamic cargo markets.

The new office, located in Colonia Molino del Rey, will serve as a key hub for TAM Group’s operations in Mexico, marking the company's third office in Latin America since the establishment of its Chile office in 2016. This strategic location aims to strengthen relationships with existing partners while actively pursuing new opportunities within Mexico's significant air cargo sector.

Fernando Garreton, Vice President for the Americas at TAM Group, expressed his enthusiasm regarding the expansion: “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.”

In 2024, TAM Group achieved an impressive 23% growth in the Americas, 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. The primary commodities managed include perishables, electronics, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics. With a total of six offices across Chile, the USA, Brazil, and now Mexico, TAM Group has established a reputation for excellence in delivering innovative and cost-effective air cargo solutions throughout the region.
