ECS Group plans more global expansion
ECS Group plans to increase its global network in 2011 with five new offices in the Far East and India and further expansion in Africa. The ECS network already incorporates 43 subsidiaries in 30 countries. In total, the GSSA organisation generates 487,000 tonnes of air cargo a year for more than 100 airline customers. 2010 saw many highlights across the ECS network. With its decision to re-launch daily services from Europe in mid-2010, Garuda Indonesia awarded ECS a Europe-wide GSA contract to maximise the potential of its bellyhold freight capacity. In addition to the Netherlands, other major cargo generating markets for Garuda include France, Germany and Scandinavia. As well as Dubai and Jakarta, ECS is now marketing Garuda destinations across Asia and Australasia, including Bangkok, Beijing, Darwin, Guangzhou, Ho Chi Minh City, Hong Kong, Jeddah, Kuala Lumpur, Melbourne, Nagoya, Osaka, Perth, Riyadh, Seoul, Shanghai, Singapore, Sydney and Tokyo. ECS also began representing US Airways in the UK, supported four new destinations launched by Brussels Airlines, reshaped the Africa West cargo product and further extended its relationship in Europe with China’s Hainan Airlines. Preparation work was also completed ahead of the opening of a new office in Hong Kong and consolidation of the ECS network in the Middle East. To coincide with its planned expansion in 2011, ECS has launched a new brand for its four GSA businesses; Globe Air Cargo, Aero Cargo International, Nordic GSA and Gen-Air. Quelle: eyefortransport |
