ECS Group is firmly committed to serving fast-growing Asian air cargo markets with a robust network and targeted investments in road feeder services, technology, and sustainability.
ECS Group is present in Cambodia, China, Hong Kong SAR, India, Indonesia, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, Myanmar, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, United Arab Emirates, and Vietnam.
Twenty individual subsidiaries and a regional Control Tower ensure smooth, efficient operations and enhanced shipment transparency and coordination.
ECS Group’s commercial services are complemented by operational oversight from TCE, while specialised expertise in sectors such as e-commerce and pharmaceuticals is ensured through collaborations with Mail & More and HealthC’Air.
Underpinning its commercial and operational activities are cutting-edge technologies designed by its in-house Cargo Digital Factory and other CargoTech members.
Jean Ceccaldi, CEO of ECS Group, says: “ECS Group’s growth and results in Asia are a clear reflection of its strategic discipline, customer focus, and ability to deliver measurable value in competitive markets.
“ECS Group benefits from a powerful ecosystem that reinforces its agility, digital capabilities, and sector expertise.”
Southeast Asia is a world trade powerhouse with fast-growing economies, increasing cargo flows, particularly e-commerce alongside perishables and pharmaceuticals, and strong corridors to Europe and the Americas.
Singapore and Vietnam show exceptional commercial performance, with Korea, one of ECS Group’s newest locations, and Japan not far behind.
Vietnam, in particular, illustrates the strength of ECS Group’s execution model in the region. Through its local subsidiary AVS Global Services, ECS Group is delivering strong and consistent results for DHL Aviation, positioning the company as a key driver of growth across South East Asia.
The team achieved its highest monthly throughput, exceeding 1,300 tons in October 2025.
At Hanoi (HAN) and Ho Chi Minh City (SGN), a dedicated freighter is sustaining robust high-tech, electronics, garment, and footwear flows.
Leveraging Hong Kong as a central hub connecting Vietnam to Europe, the United States, and Latin America, these results reinforce Vietnam’s growing strategic importance within global cargo networks, and ECS Group’s ability to scale performance in high-growth markets.
Noor Azizah, Regional Vice President Asia Pacific (excluding China), explains: “ECS Group opened its first Asian office back in 2002, operated by Globe Air Cargo.
“However, it is in the past five years that we have truly gained a firm foothold across the continent, opening new offices in a growing number of countries.
“To date, we operate out of 14 Asian countries, represent more than 50 airlines in the Asia Pacific region, and employ over 444 staff here.
“We also continue to develop vital RFS networks to ensure shipment on forwarding from airports such as Phuket in Thailand, Penang in Malaysia, or Danang in Vietnam.
“There are strong market dynamics in North and Southeast Asia, but also volatility too. Market prices vary, and therefore ECS Group emphasises a fully regional approach toward sales opportunities and synergies.”
