Globe Air Cargo made GSA in UK for Vietnam Airlines

GLOBE Air Cargo, a member of the European Cargo Services (ECS) group, says it has been appointed exclusive GSA partner in the United Kingdom for Vietnam Airlines.

The new contract is part of the airline's preparation for the launch of flights to London this year. In the meantime, Globe Air Cargo in the UK will truck cargo to Paris to connect with Vietnam Airlines' daily Boeing 777 services. From Charles de Gaulle, the airline operates four flights a week to Ho Chi Minh City and three flights weekly to Hanoi, a Globe Air Cargo statement said.

This latest agreement is a further extension of the business partnership between the airline and ECS. Vietnam Airlines appointed the ECS head office in Paris as its GSA in France in 1992. Since then, the airline has awarded ECS with new contracts in Belgium, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, Romania, Slovakia and Switzerland, it said.

Said Globe Air Cargo managing director Mark Pulling: The growth in the working relationship between the airline and ECS reflects both the successful results we have achieved and the added value for carriers of choosing a network GSA in terms of business generation and cost efficiency.
