Vietnam Airlines has appointed ECS Group as its cargo general sales and service agent (GSSA) in the US. ECS will manage online flights at San Francisco International and develop strategic interline solutions to connect with key Asian gateways, particularly in Korea. The carrier aims to capture increasing demand generated by manufacturing diversification, e-commerce growth and high-value exports. It transports commodities including electronics, semiconductors, automotive components, e-commerce shipments, perishables and pharmaceuticals. ECS already represents Vietnam Airlines in other international markets.
ECS Group chief executive, Jean Ceccaldi, said: “Vietnam has become one of the most important growth engines in global trade and Vietnam Airlines Cargo is exceptionally well positioned to benefit from that momentum. By combining our powerful sales network, digital expertise and operational capabilities with the airline’s expanding cargo offering, we are creating a platform for sustained growth in the United States market. This partnership reflects our shared confidence in the long-term potential of transpacific trade and our commitment to delivering greater value for customers.”
