Bamboo Airways has selected ECS Group to develop its cargo operations in four countries as the airline expands its network across Asia Pacific.

The Vietnamese leisure airline, which started in 2019 with passenger flights, is placing a strong focus on cargo operations within its network, and has appointed Globe Air Cargo as its exclusive GSA in Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, and the Philippines.

Bamboo Airways started operating A321 services between Saigon (SGN) and Singapore (SIN) twice a week on 29 April, which has already expanded to thrive weekly services on 24 May.

The main commodities transported from Singapore to Vietnam included electronic goods, raw materials, spare parts, pharmaceuticals, and e-commerce, whilst the return route from Vietnam to Singapore includes perishables, electronics, and ready-made garments.

ECS Group said the airline is gradually expanding its network to Europe, USA, Japan, Australia, and other regions. The group said it intends to promote Vietnam to e-commerce players and interline partners as Bamboo Airways grows its schedule.
