Aeroméxico appoints Globe Air Cargo, part of the ECS Group, as its general sales and service agent in the Netherlands with effect from 29 May 2016. Aeroméxico and ECS Group first started working together in Spain in 1992. Globe Air Cargo now operates as Aeroméxico’s full GSSA within the whole EU territory.

Aeroméxico, with a fleet of more than 120 aircraft, is the passenger and cargo carrier leader in the Mexican market, flying to more than 75 destinations all over the world. Aeroméxico operates 10 flights per week to Madrid, one daily to Paris, six weekly to London and, from now on, three per week to Amsterdam. With 25 weekly operations connecting Mexico and Europe, its wide body capacity is now 700 tonnes of cargo per week.

Aeroméxico has become the most important player of Mexico’s air trade, transporting one of every five tonnes inbound and outbound with a total of 132,000 tonnes shipped in last year. Aeroméxico offers Mexico City one of the most efficient LATAM hubs with many destinations in the Latin American market, such as Santiago de Chile, São Paulo, Guatemala City, Panama, Buenos Aires and others, ECS said.

Focusing on all European products, including perishables, pharmaceuticals and other niche products, ECS offers special opportunities at Schiphol Airport to shorten the transit time for temperature-sensitive goods.

“We are delighted that Aeroméxico has chosen Globe Air Cargo to intensify our long-standing partnership, which has proved over the years to be very successful,” said ECS Group COO Adrien Thominet. “We have been supporting other destinations of our partner such as Madrid, Paris and London Heathrow on a daily basis. Now it is time to offer our Dutch customers a direct service and to strengthen Aeroméxico’s activities in Europe. We feel very honoured by Aeroméxico’s trust.”
