Seven years into their partnership, Total Cargo Management (TCM) specialist, TCE and Canadian leisure airline, Air Transat, have renewed their contract, and at the same time, are expanding its scope with the launch of a new Brazil route – the airline’s first direct Canada-Brazil connection. TCE, which supports the airline with a comprehensive range of cargo services, will now also sell the space on Air Transsat’s twice-weekly Airbus A330 flights from Toronto to Rio de Janeiro, and weekly Montreal-Rio services. Around 12 tons of cargo capacity is available on each flight, and a wide variety of commodities are accepted, from general cargo to automotive shipments and perishables.
Sarah Scheibe, TCE Managing Director, commented: “We have been working with Air Transat since 2019, but in 2026, we are now fully leading the carrier under our Total Cargo Management concept with an expanded cargo management scope. The renewed agreement further strengthens our long-term collaboration and expands the scope of services with a comprehensive cargo management approach. Together with our partner GSAs from Global GSA Group and ECS Group, we provide Air Transat cargo services across multiple markets worldwide, including France, the Netherlands, Spain, and the UK. New countries added this year include Brazil, Iceland, Morocco, and Senegal, further expanding the global cargo network.
Since the beginning of the collaboration, the partnership has evolved into a much closer and more integrated cooperation. Increased transparency, stronger operational insights, and excellent teamwork between all companies involved have been key drivers of the partner-ship’s success. The renewed agreement focuses on strengthening the partnership, growing together strategically, expanding the cargo network, and further developing special commodity segments.”
