Globe Air Cargo Cambodia has been chosen to represent Air Premia in Cambodia and Myanmar as its GSSA. The ECS Group subsidiary will be routing cargo originating in the two countries, via Bangkok (BKK) to major international destinations such as Seoul (ICN)/Korea, Tokyo Narita (NRT)/Japan, and Los Angeles (LAX), San Francisco (SFO), and Newark (EWR) over in the United States. Air Premia operates a Boeing 787 service ex Bangkok, thus providing the market with around 15 to 18 tons of cargo uplift per flight. “Interline connections will ensure efficient cargo feed into the BKK gateway for onward international distribution,” the press release explains. Commodities being exported from Cambodia include ready-made garments and electronic parts. Similarly, Myanmar exports a mix of textiles and agricultural goods. Air Premia expects that its incoming flights will carry perishables – mangoes, in particular. Through its new local GSSA, the airline gains access to ECS Group’s CargoTech suite which offers full digital support when it comes to dynamic pricing, data analytics, booking optimization, and real-time performance tracking. This enables more streamlined processes, enhanced visibility, greater speed and efficiency, which all translate into a better customer experience.
For ECS Group, the new contract is fully in line with its expansion strategy – particularly in emerging air cargo markets – and strengthens its Southeast Asian market presence. “This appointment marks another milestone in ECS Group’s mission to deliver flexible, reliable, and sustainable cargo solutions worldwide,” the release concludes.
Jean Ceccaldi, CEO of ECS Group, said: “This partnership with Air Premia highlights our ability to deliver agile, market-specific solutions in rapidly growing regions. Our team at Globe Air Cargo Cambodia is fully aligned with Air Premia’s goals, and we are confident of achieving strong commercial results across both markets.”
Noor Azizah, Regional VP Asia Pacific (excluding China) at ECS Group, added: “Cambodia and Myanmar are high-potential, export-driven markets. Air Premia’s network gives local customers the long-haul reach they need. We’re excited to unlock new opportunities and further reinforce ECS Group’s footprint in Asia.”
