Low-cost airline NokScoot has appointed the ECS group as its GSA in Asia under a three-year total cargo management contract.
The airline, a partnership between Singapore’s Scoot and Thai Nok Air, is based in Thailand at Don Muang International and operates 49 flights per week in Asia to China, Japan, India and Taiwan utilising Boeing 777 capacity.
ECS will market, among others, the following routes: Qingdao, Nanjing, Taipei, Tianjin, Shenyang, Xian, Tokyo, Osaka and Delhi.
NokScoot chief executive Yodchai Sudhidhanakul said: “Air cargo is becoming more and more important to our operation with greater contribution to our revenues and the partnership with ECS will enhance our freight business.”
NokScoot is hoping to generate 40,000 tonnes of cargo per year as it grows its cargo offering through the ECS deal.
