Paris,8th July 2026: French Bee, the leisure carrier from France, has extended its GSSA contract with Globe Air Cargo Canada, ensuring the continuation of a unique, direct cargo corridor between Canada and France’s Paris – Orly Airport. This will provide swift access to the world’s largest food market, Rungis, and other European gateways. The renewed agreement, effective for a further three years, covers Canada and confirms the ongoing, successful collaboration between French Bee and Globe Air Cargo Canada across North America. This partnership is particularly significant for Canadian exporters. French Bee is the only carrier to operate direct wide-body cargo capacity between Montreal-Trudeau (YUL) to Paris-Orly (ORY), connecting the two cities in just 7 hours. The Airbus A350-900 and A350-1000 service flies three time a week during the winter, and daily during the summer aircraft, offering up to 15 tonnes of weekly cargo capacity. “This renewed agreement gives our customers continued access to a truly differentiated transatlantic solution,” says Elena Garduño, Commercial Director of Globe Air Cargo Canada. “French Bee’s direct Montreal-Orly service offers a compelling alternative for time and temperature-sensitive cargo, combining modern A350 capacity, reliable operations and fast access to the Paris region and beyond, through a far less congested airport environment. This is currently the best transatlantic air cargo connection to Rungis International Market, and there is great potential for an even stronger market share of perishables, healthcare products and general cargo flows between Canada and Europe. Globe Air Cargo Canada is here to maximise these businesses for French Bee and its many international customers.” Paris-Orly’s proximity to Rungis International Market, the world’s largest fresh produce market, makes the service especially attractive for perishables moving from Canada into France and wider Europe. Beyond the Rungis connection, the direct Orly gateway also supports general cargo, e-commerce, retail freight and temperature-controlled healthcare shipments. Customers benefit from an extensive, scheduled road feeder service across Europe, connecting to major European hubs such as Amsterdam (AMS), Brussels (BRU), and Luxembourg (LUX), as well as reliable transit connections to French Overseas Territories destinations including Saint-Denis (RUN), Fort-de-France (FDF), Pointe-à-Pitre (PTP), Cayenne (CAY), Santo Domingo (SDQ) and Saint Martin (SXM). Globe Air Cargo Canada will focus on growing perishables traffic from Canada, increasing awareness of French Bee’s unique Orly service and developing additional opportunities for healthcare and high-value time-sensitive shipments. An e-booking option with dynamic pricing is also expected to become available, supporting even greater speed and flexibility for customers.

France, 27th May 2026: ECS Group’s Globe Air Cargo (GAC) France is working closely with All Nippon Airways (ANA) and Nippon Cargo Airlines (NCA), to promote and strengthen NCA’s position in the French market. As the two airlines join their networks together, GAC France acts as a single point of sale out of France, ensuring optimum load factors and digitally enhanced commercial processes. “GAC France is at the forefront of this historic cargo integration and will actively contribute towards optimising NCA’s capacity and network usage. Its objectives for the next 6–12 months are clear: strengthen NCA’s market position and share by increasing its visibility; and expanding and consolidating key accounts, focusing both on existing partners and targeting potential customers,” says Jean Ceccaldi, Chief Executive Officer of ECS Group. “What makes the partnership particularly interesting, is the group’s combination of freighters and passenger flights serving France. This integration of services means a broader offer for customers in terms of products, capacity, and destinations – and all from a single team interface.” “We are proud to support NCA in strengthening its presence in France. By combining GAC France’s local market expertise with NCA’s strong network and product offering, we can create new opportunities for our customers while delivering greater visibility, efficiency and added value across key verticals,” adds Franck Tordjman, Managing Director of Globe Air Cargo France. GAC France already has an established, centralised ANA Cargo team that proactively coordinates all operations and customer follow-ups. It places a dedicated focus on key accounts and specific verticals (such as aerospace, pharma, automotive, and high-tech). Through the integration of NCA’s customer segments, those verticals will also include oversize cargo, CAO and other high-value or specialised commodities. NCA’s Boeing 747-8F fleet operates 5 weekly flights from Paris – Charles de Gaulle (CDG) airport, via Amsterdam or Frankfurt to Japan (NRT/HND/OKA/KIX/NGO/FUK). Daily flights are available to Hong Kong (HKG) and Shanghai (PVG). Bangkok (BKK) is served three times per week, and flights to Singapore (SIN) and Taipei (TPE) are operated twice per week. “The larger the network and greater the product scope, the more important it is to ensure maximum process efficiency,” Jean Ceccaldi. “And that can only be achieved through digitalisation which is standard throughout ECS Group. From real-time capacity access though the booking platform, to immediate quote-to-booking functions, to optimum capacity usage thanks to SkyPallet, NCA will benefit from GAC France’s experience in combining innovation with in-depth market knowledge.”

22nd May 2026: The International Air Transport Association (IATA) has comprehensively certified Lufthansa Cargo according to the CEIV Pharma standard. CEIV stands for “Center of Excellence for Independent Validators” and confirms the highest quality standards for the transportation of time- and temperature-sensitive healthcare products. In addition to airline processes, the certification for the first time also includes IATA’s corporate approach, under which a carrier’s quality management and processes are assessed holistically across a dedicated portion of the network. The corporate certificate was presented during this year’s World Cargo Symposium in Lima by Brendan Sullivan, IATA Global Head of Cargo, to Oliver von Götz, Vice President Global Fulfillment Management at Lufthansa Cargo. “Lufthansa Cargo’s renewed certification demonstrates in an impressive way how holistic quality assurance can be implemented in the global air cargo industry,” says Sullivan. “The company proves that standardized processes, centralized governance and local execution go hand in hand across the entire network, setting new benchmarks for the safe transportation of pharmaceutical products.” “The certification highlights the pharmaceutical expertise we have continuously built up in one of our strategic focus industries,” says von Götz. “Through close collaboration with our customers and the consistent further development of processes, training and infrastructure, we work every day to ensure a reliable and consistent level of quality throughout the entire transportation chain.” Corporate Approach strengthens global quality management The corporate approach was specifically developed for globally operating aviation stakeholders and evaluates quality management centrally and across the network rather than limiting assessments to individual stations. Quality requirements such as processes, training and infrastructure are centrally defined, monitored and implemented locally. In addition to the central pharma hubs in Frankfurt, Munich and Chicago, the certification also includes selected own stations such as Atlanta, Washington, D.C., Mexico City and New York. Numerous independently certified stations operated by ground handling agents (GHAs) complement the network, giving Lufthansa Cargo access to one of the world’s largest pharma networks. The audits took place between November 2025 and March 2026. Strong foundation for global pharma logistics Lufthansa Cargo is now looking back on ten consecutive years of CEIV Pharma-certified expertise. Since the initial certification in 2016, quality standards have been continuously enhanced and the global pharma network has been systematically expanded. Today, Lufthansa Cargo operates a network of more than 350 stations worldwide, including around 230 stations offering “Passive Temp Support” and around 120 stations providing “Active Temp Control.” Standardized processes, specially trained employees and continuous quality monitoring along the transportation chain form the foundation for the safe transport of temperature-sensitive and time-critical pharmaceutical shipments. The current CEIV Pharma certification is valid through April 2029.
