Air Premia Selects ECS Group as its GSA

Our Bureau - : May 17, 2022 - : 4:58 am

Seoul-based Globe Air Cargo (GAC) Korea, the newest subsidiary of ECS Group, has signed a contract with Air Premia, Korea’s first hybrid service carrier with an interest in air cargo, to serve as GSA in its home market.

GAC Korea and Air Premia both operate out of Incheon International Airport (ICN), Seoul, Korea. In accordance with the signed Cargo General Sales Agency Agreement (GSA), GAC Korea fulfils daily operational duties for Air Premia, which include cargo sales, reservations, and ensuring the handling of regular and full charter flights. ECS Group also represents Air Premia all over the world.

“GAC Korea and Air Premia truly act as one team, since we have been there from the start of its inaugural passenger to cargo (P2C) flight out of Seoul to Singapore on 24 December 2021,” said H.E. Shin, CEO of Globe Air Cargo Korea. “We are proud to have the opportunity to support Air Premia at its home base as its very first GSA since the airline was established in 2017. As part of the world’s largest integrated GSSA, we look forward to driving Air Premia’s success as it expands its network.

“We particularly welcome the launch of Air Premia’s Los Angeles route in August 2022, not only because it will be the first HSC in Korea to incorporate a U.S. destination, but also because ECS Group will be opening an office in Los Angeles (LAX), too, to manage sales out of the North and South America,” added Shin.

In addition to its upcoming LAX launch, Air Premia will be connecting to Narita (NRT), Japan, in August this year. To date, GAC Korea has assisted with Mango B787-9 charters between ICN and Bangkok (BKK) since March 6 this year, with a total of 22 operations planned every Tuesday and Sunday until May 22.

Air Premia serves Singapore (SIN) twice a week with P2C flights, and recently began twice-weekly Ho Chi Minh (SGN), Vietnam, P2C operations. The airline has ambitious fleet growth plans, adding two B787-9 aircraft every year until 2025 and growing to ten by 2026, by which time it also plans to operate wide-body freighters.
