Reportedly, the new agreement will combine Vietnam Airlines Cargo’s expanding transpacific network and ECS Group’s US commercial expertise.

The partnership is designed to accelerate cargo growth between Vietnam and North America and optimise revenues across evolving supply chains.

Under the agreement, ECS Group will manage Vietnam Airlines’ online flights at San Francisco International Airport (SFO), while also developing strategic interline solutions to connect the US with key Asian gateways, particularly in Korea, providing customers with flexible and competitive transport options into and beyond Asia.

ECS Group chief executive officer, Jean Ceccaldi, said: “Vietnam has become one of the most important growth engines in global trade and Vietnam Airlines Cargo is exceptionally well positioned to benefit from that momentum.

“By combining our powerful sales network, digital expertise and operational capabilities with the airline’s expanding cargo offering, we are creating a platform for sustained growth in the United States market.

“This partnership reflects our shared confidence in the long-term potential of transpacific trade and our commitment to delivering greater value for customers.”
