General sales and service agent (GSSA) ECS Group is to be Asiana Airlines’ exclusive global cargo partner. ECS will provide sales, reservations, customer service, and ground handling coordination—at 33 locations in nine countries in Europe, the Americas, China, Japan, and Southeast Asia.
Following the divestment of its freighter division, Asiana has transitioned to a fully belly cargo-based model, utilizing the lower holds of its passenger aircraft—including the A350-900, which offers up to 18 tons of cargo capacity, focusing on high-demand, time-critical shipments such as semiconductor components, fresh food, and small express cargo. In 2024, it carried some 158,000 tons of belly cargo on international passenger flights.
