ECS Group, Thai VietJet Air To Grow Thailand & Asia Cargo Ops

Low-cost carrier Thai VietJet Air has awarded the tender of its cargo operations to ECS Group. The carrier signed a Master GSSA agreement with ECS Group on February 1, 2024. It was ECS Group’s global network, proven air cargo expertise, and dynamic innovation that led Thai VietJet Air to place its cargo business into AVS GSA Thailand’s hands and overall ECS Asian network, says an official release from ECS. “Thai VietJet Air can now look forward to further increasing its cargo revenue and export volumes across Thailand and various Asian countries including Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, China, Taiwan, Korea, Japan, and Vietnam.” The partnership allows Thai VietJet Air to leverage ECS Group’s in-house digital tools and expert knowledge to promote its cargo business effectively. Thai VietJet Air currently operates a fleet of 18 A320-200 and A321-200 aircraft, focusing primarily on transporting general cargo and perishables, the release added. “Thai VietJet Air has carved a solid cargo market share for itself on the Thai domestic market, and offers an impressive international network across Asia – and all that without a freighter in its fleet,” says Monchai Jirakiertivadhana, CEO, AVS GSA Indochina region. “AVS GSA therefore has an excellent base on which to further develop the airline’s cargo activities and improve its revenue performance.”
