Ukrainian low-cost carrier, SkyUp Airlines, which operates internationally out of Moldova’s Chișinău (RMO), is reentering the cargo business to serve as a hub for European cargo activities, and has selected Aerion’s air cargo experts, TCE, ECS Group and Global GSA Group as its representatives. The airline recently signed a strategic Total Cargo Management (TCM) agreement with TCE, which has subcontracted the GSSA partners, ECS Group and Global GSA Group, to carry out commercial operations. Since 05JAN26, TCE ensures that all cargo processes involved in transporting commodities falling under categories such as General Cargo, Dangerous Goods (DGR), Perishables (PER), Live Animals (AVI), Mail, and e-commerce, are carried out in accordance with the respective requirements. In selecting TCE’s TCM, SkyUp Airlines can look forward to a greater scope of products and efficient use of its cargo holds. “Coordination is led by Globe Air Cargo Ukraine on behalf of ECS Group, with technical support from TCE Germany, while SkyUp Airlines retains operational control at RMO”, the release states. The airline serves Spain, Greece, Cyprus, Turkey, Israel, France, Poland, Montenegro, Albania, and Moldova.
Sarah Scheibe, Managing Director of TCE, underlined: “Total Cargo Management today is about orchestrating networks […] This agreement reflects our hands-on approach, deeply embedded in operations, commercially focused, and designed to deliver value across every market. By leveraging the combined expertise of ECS Group and Global GSA Group, we are building a highly responsive and scalable cargo platform.”
Daria Alieksieienko, Director of Regular SkyUp Airlines, commented: “We are pleased to resume our cargo operations, which we began developing in 2020 as part of a long-term strategy to diversify our business. Partnering with TCE, with the strong backing of the commercial networks of ECS Group and Global GSA Group enables us to reenter the market efficiently and deliver reliable cargo solutions built on shared standards of quality and international expertise. This partnership brings together SkyUp’s operational capabilities and ECS Group’s global commercial reach, supporting the sustainable growth of our cargo business.”
Jean Ceccaldi, CEO of ECS Group, stated: “This partnership reflects the strength of our commercial platforms when deployed at scale. By mobilizing ECS Group’s global sales network alongside Global GSA Group’s strong local presence, we are ensuring consistent market execution and accelerated revenue generation for SkyUp Airlines across all regions.” Aytekin Saray, CEO of Global GSA Group, added: “This agreement highlights the power of coordinated GSA execution.
