Icelandic low-cost carrier PLAY has chosen ECS Group subsidiaries, Globe Air Cargo France and Denmark's Nordic GSA as its general sales & service agents (GSSA).
The two companies will develop PLAY's cargo business on its narrowbody fleet of 10 A320neo and A321neo aircraft, supported by CargoTech digital tools.
“Globe Air Cargo France and Nordic GSA won the tender for PLAY because of ECS Group's success with one of PLAY's partners,” explained ECS Group CEO Jena Ceccaldi. “Our teams proved that they have the local expertise and advanced digital tools needed to support this new and ambitious leisure airline in building a stable and expanding belly cargo business almost from scratch.”
“We already have regular flows of cargo on PLAY flights from Denmark to Tenerife and Gran Canaria in the Canary Islands,” said Thomas Frederiksen, managing director of Nordic GSA in Denmark. “While these are primarily highly popular holiday destinations for passengers, Nordic GSA’s mission is to equally promote opportunities for cargo business on board of PLAY, and to generate excellent baseload revenue for the airline."
PLAY has up to 4.5 tonnes of bulk-cargo uplift available on its flights.
