Colin Dai has been appointed as the country sales director for China at Glasgow Prestwick Airport (GPA).

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.

Dai said: “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.

“My focus will be on meeting these rising business needs by introducing GPA’s services to Chinese companies, leveraging the airport’s strategic location, state-of-the-art facilities, and partnership with Royal Mail.”

Dai’s announcement follows GPA’s recent launch of its e-commerce solution in partnership with Royal Mail Group, solidifying its position as a leading international e-commerce hub for the United Kingdom.

Nico Le Roux, business development director at GPA, said: “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.

“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.”

GPA recently invested over £2 million 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, making GPA an ideal gateway for Chinese businesses.
