WGA has partnered with tier one airlines and multinational logistics companies to provide innovative customer solutions rapidly and efficiently responding to their needs. In addition, Western Global Airlines has been granted CCAR 129 and CCAR 287 certs and approvals to operate in China, which has opened up a whole new slew of opportunities for the company as it establishes presence in one of the world’s largest economies with an emerging middle class that will continue to drive demand for the services it offers. While trade tensions have depressed some areas of the cargo market, WGA has been successful in capturing general cargo, high tech, and perishable business that will pay dividends moving forward.
