ECS Group Enlarges Network

Strong performance across Europe, expansion into new markets, new customers and contracts extensions are all contributing towards a record year for ECS Group in 2011.

The global cargo general sales and service agent reported sales of €456 million in 2010, its previous highest result and up from €344 million in 2009.

India is the latest country to be added to the ECS network. New offices in Mumbai and Delhi are in addition to 47 offices in 30 countries that already make up the group’s business.

“Enlarging our network is a strategic priority, particularly in Asia. We have already opened in Hong Kong, Vietnam and Singapore this year and expect to be operational in China in the next few weeks. Investing in India is another logical step given its current and forecast growth and in 2012 we will establish the ECS brand in more new markets around the world,” Bertrand Schmoll, ECS CEO, said.

This year alone ECS has won a series of new contracts including Hainan Airlines and Etihad in Switzerland, Indigo in Singapore, worldwide agreements with Camair and Senegal Airlines, SAS, Czech Airlines and Ceiba Cargo in Germany, Icelandair in Italy, DHL Aviation in Bulgaria and Jade Cargo in Vietnam.

Strong growth by global customers such as Brussels Airlines and Ukraine International Airlines has also contributed to ECS Group’s 2011 result.
