ECS Group has become Royal Jordanian Airlines’ general sales agent (GSA) across key US airfreight gateways.
Royal Jordanian Airlines has signed a multi-year GSA agreement with ECS Group that enables the latter’s US subsidiary, Globe Air Cargo (GAC) to manage the airline’s cargo sales representation for Chicago O’Hare (ORD) and Detroit (DTW).
The contract, which has been in place since 10 January, involves GAC marketing cargo capacity for Royal Jordanian’s Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner flights, offering US exporters access to Amman (AMM), Jordan and connectivity across Royal Jordanian’s widebody and freighter network.
Commercial focus will extend to key markets including Tripoli, Libya (TIP), Damascus (DAM), Jeddah (JED), Beirut (BEY), Cairo (CAI), Istanbul (IST), Dubai (DXB) and Bangkok (BKK).
The contract includes full GSA services supported by ECS Group’s integrated technology ecosystem, which aims to provide customers with seamless digital booking, pricing intelligence and real-time visibility.
“This partnership reflects the scale of trust Royal Jordanian places in our ability to transform their cargo results in one of the world’s most competitive markets,” said Jean Ceccaldi, chief executive of ECS Group.
“With GAC’s strength on the ground and our digital capabilities through CargoAI, ECS Group will generate accelerated growth for Royal Jordanian and deliver US customers a level of reach and performance they have not had before.”
“Partnering with ECS Group and Globe Air Cargo brings strong market expertise, proven commercial capabilities and advanced digital tools that will support our growth objectives, enhance customer reach, and optimise the utilisation of our cargo capacity across key US gateways and beyond,” commented Khaled Alkhawaldeh, director cargo commercial, Royal Jordanian Airline.
