Bid Tender Opportunities

The federation recognises the importance of helping our members grow their business. The last few years have been fraught with economic difficulties across many business sectors. Our aim is to support our members by providing you with access to up and coming airline tenders.

Statistics

Essential to know the size of your market and where freight is going. Members can purchase annual  discounted access to market data with online log in for country and city pair data presented both graphically and tabulated. Cost currently circa €2600 per country.  An advanced package being developed will indicate the actual forwarder shipping and soon a federation based IT  program will  display  effective sales lead data. Members only of course.

Sale / Acquisition of businesses

Expanding your reach, planning a divesment or simply looking at retirement options we have helped many to achieve their goals.  This is always a sensitive and confidential matter so contact general.secretary for more information

Tricargo.aero

New for 2023 this  web based "window" is an utterly neutral platform for GSSA's to all show their service offerings and receive bookings from forwarders. Built with the support of the global forwarders association.

Neutral Air Waybills

We make available through our own Vanilla IT system neutral air waybills for members approved us. Certain lanes are also being established on a federation basis and available to all. Air waybills are suitable for interline arrangements and insured to Montreal Convention limits as required. Apply to general.secretary if interested.

Home

The Federation of Airline General Sales Agents (FEDAGSA), Geneva, Switzerland is a not for profit trade federation. We are absolutely dedicated to representing the interests of our airline GSSA's throughout the world. Following  more than 33 years representing our members interests and providing very popular supporting services the Federation continues to attract new members. We provide much needed help and significant practical benefits and our board representatives are now located around the globe.

Applicants who meet the criteria are welcomed into this Federation and quickly learn that despite the Federation itself being not for profit many profitable referrals and genuine business opportunities exist within Fedagsa membership. Professional services are easily accessible including initial 'free' consultations with legal counsel where necessary. Newsletters, news updates, business referrals, statistics, special contracts, even financial support and the use of our air waybills can be found here at the Federation. In addition the ongoing lobbying of government and non-government organisations to protect your interests are just some of the further behind the scenes benefits.

Our Business Conferences/AGM meetings provide well qualified networking opportunities and set the priorities for each year. Discounts on IATA CASS, accreditation, manuals,  WCS conferences and other services including courses are available through your membership. Our guarantee program is in constant demand. Indeed most members have found cash discounts to be greater than their membership fees making Fedagsa membership essentially free. We also offer prompt and discounted access to IATA accreditation for those qualifying for this excellent joint Federation/IATA GSSA program.

We welcome your interest and invite you to apply for membership which will give you access to our full range of activities.
