ECS Group has appointed Jean Ceccaldi as chief executive as part of a strategic restructuring of the airline general sales and service agency company.
Ceccaldi (pictured, left) brings extensive experience across all facets of the business, and his core mission will be to enhance agility and flexibility throughout ECS Group, to allow it to adapt quickly to market shifts. He will also deploy key offerings such as the ‘Abilities’ services, which provide tailored solutions for clients’ diverse needs, and help drive digital transformation across all subsidiaries. Sustainability is also a key pillar of the transformation.
He said: “The air cargo industry is evolving rapidly, and the GSSA model must transform if we are to remain at the forefront. Our operational expertise, combined with our focus on technology and sustainability, will ensure we remain leaders in the long term.”
Ceccaldi’s career at ECS Group spans almost three decades, during which he has held key roles in operations, sales, and general management and was most recently managing director of Aero Cargo France, ECS Group’s top-performing subsidiary.

Our commitment to agility, sustainability, and technology will ensure we remain the trusted partner of choice for airlines and freight forwarders. Together, we are preparing ECS Group for the future and positioning ourselves to meet the challenges ahead.”
Jean Ceccaldi will be replaced as managing director of Aero Cargo France by commercial director, Guillaume Tourneret.
