IAG Cargo has appointed Globe Air Cargo (GAC) NL as its general service and sales agent (GSSA) in the Netherlands.

GAC NL, which is part of the ECS Group, will begin acting as IAG Cargo's GSSA from March 1, "expanding and optimising" the airline group's services for freight customers.

The ECS Group already represents IAG Cargo, which includes Aer Lingus, British Airways, Iberia, Level, and Vueling, in Germany, Austria, and Scandinavia.

“We are delighted that IAG Cargo has chosen Globe Air Cargo to develop its product in the Netherlands. Our team will benefit from the combined expertise of ECS Group offices and the synergies this will bring,” said ECS chief executive Adrien Thominet.

GAC NL managing director Mariët Zöllner said that the new contract win followed on from a successful 2017.

He said: “Last year was characterised by organisational growth and development. We have invested in young professionals and will focus on innovative projects and tools to further improve our services and position in the market.

"With our new partner IAG Cargo we are ready to face the challenges of any further market development. We are in for another good year."
