General sales agency ECS Group has signed a Total Cargo Management (TCM) contract with South American low-cost carrier JetSMART Airlines.
JetSMART Airlines operates domestic routes in Chile, Colombia, Peru, and Argentina, along with international routes between those countries and to Brazil, the US, Europe, and Asia with a fleet of A320 and A321 aircraft.
This four-year partnership covers operations across the four countries, the first-ever TCM contract in South America with a regional airline.
ECS Group will manage nearly 25,000 flights annually and develop domestic markets for JetSMART Airlines’s in all four countries. The new venture will focus on high-demand commodities such as salmon, perishables, minerals and mail. ECS will establish dedicated commercial and operational teams, coordinated through its ‘control tower’ in San José, Costa Rica.
JetSMART will also benefit from ECS Group’s collaboration with CargoTech, gaining access to advanced digital tools, including eBooking via CargoAI, capacity management, and revenue optimization platforms.
ECS Group executive chairman Adrien Thominet said: “Being entrusted by JetSMART Airlines reinforces our reputation as a global leader in Total Cargo Management. It reflects our proven expertise, innovative digital solutions, and ability to deliver exceptional results across continents.”
