General Sales & Service Agent (GSSA), the ECS Group, has announced a new strategic partnership between its subsidiary Aero Cargo Belgium and Thai Airways, which it says will redefine cargo connectivity on essential routes between Europe and Asia.

The agreement focuses on the Brussels (BRU) to Bangkok (BKK) route, offering seamless transit options to destinations including Australia, Korea, India, Japan, Manila, and Singapore.

Thai Airways operates daily flights using Boeing 787-800 aircraft, each providing a payload capacity of 15 tonnes.

The airline says it will not only benefit from ECS Group’s in-house technology but also from the full deployment of CargoTech suite of digital tools.

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 specialised shipments.

Jean Ceccaldi, chief executive of ECS Group, said: “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.”

Bert Moortgat, managing director of Aero Cargo Belgium, said: “This agreement is a significant milestone for Aero Cargo Belgium. With daily flights and access to a network of vital destinations in Asia-Pacific, we are able to offer our customers unparalleled opportunities to connect their goods to global markets efficiently and reliably, particularly for high-value and sensitive commodities such as pharmaceuticals.”
