The GSSA agreement between Thai Airways and the Belgian ECS Group subsidiary, Aero Cargo Belgium, came into effect on 01FEB25, already. The GSSA is tasked with filling the holds of Thai Airways’ flights out of Brussels (BRU) to Bangkok (BKK) and beyond. The airline offers seamless transit options to destinations in Australia, Korea, India, Japan, Manila, and Singapore, and operates daily flights. It deploys Boeing 787-800 aircraft on the route, which each have a payload capacity of 15 tons.
For ECS Group, the new contract between Thai Airways and Aero Cargo Belgium is highly attractive because it “marks a significant milestone in connecting Europe and Asia-Pacific with efficient and reliable cargo solutions,” according to the press release. The GSSA brings local expertise, as well as potential efficiency increases since it uses not only ECS Group’s in-house technology but also from the full deployment of CargoTech suite of digital tools. Through these digital support tools, the GSSA is able to spot potential business leads as well as maximize capacity use and therefore revenues per flight. “This collaboration caters to a diverse range of cargo, with a particular focus on pharmaceuticals, ensuring reliable and efficient transport solutions for time-sensitive and specialized shipments,” the release continues.
Jean Ceccaldi, CEO of ECS Group, commented: “ECS Group is proud to support this collaboration with Thai Airways, which reflects our commitment to building long-term, value-driven relationships with airlines. By enabling them to achieve operational excellence and deliver tailored solutions for their unique needs, we are setting a new standard for global connectivity and efficiency in the cargo industry.”
