ECS Globe Air Cargo extends Air China scope in France, Scandinavia

ECS GLOBE Air Cargo (ECS) has widened its sales programme for Air China in France and Scandinavia with the launch of a twice-weekly Boeing 747-200 freighter service to Shanghai and Beijing.

ECS Globe Air Cargo is Air China's exclusive GSA partner in France and already markets 500 tons of capacity a month on the airline's Airbus A330 passenger flights from Paris CDG Airport, said ECS statement. Air China operates a daily flight to Beijing and four services a week to Shanghai.

The B747-200F service will offer additional weekly capacity of nearly 200 tons to Air China's network, with 120 tons allocated to the French market and 80 tons to Scandinavia, the first stop for the all-cargo service on its Copenhagen, Paris, Shanghai, Beijing routing.

Said Air China Cargo vice president Gu Dongfeng: "We have great confidence in the French market with the excellent support of our partner, ECS Globe Air Cargo. We are proud to be contributing to the economic development of the two continents."

Said ECS country director Franck Tordjman: "The launch of new freighter services by the airline to Shanghai and Beijing is a big event and we are confident freight forwarders in France and Scandinavia will take advantage of Air China's excellent service levels and its ability to provide onward connections to other prime markets including Guangzhou, Tianjin, Wuhan, Qindao and Shenzhen."
