PARIS-BASED sales agency ECS Group has acquired BCS Air, the Sao Paulo-based general sales and services agent, a partnership that will provide airlines in Latin America and the US, reports London's Air Cargo News.
BCS Air is an established general sales and service agent (GSSA) with more than 20 years of experience. In June, ECS itself was acquired by Paris-based investment firm Naxicap Partners to help continue the GSSA's acquisition strategy.
'We are very glad to become part of ECS Group's global network,' said BCS Air chief operations officer Joao Luiz Ferreira. 'The cooperation surely will create highly dynamic synergies between our enterprises and further strengthen our position in the Brazilian and American markets.'
Said ECS Group chairman Bertrand Schmoll: 'BCS Air has always been one of the most professional and successful providers of cargo outsourcing solutions in Brazil. Therefore, the acquisition is perfectly in line with our policy to support the world's most proficient GSSAs with our powerful global infrastructure.'
With strong connections to the local air freight community, BCS Air offers a portfolio of GSSA services at Brazilian airports for international airlines such as Aeromexico, Cargolux, IAG Cargo, Japan Airlines, TG, Turkish Airlines and Delta - from sales and marketing support to ground handling and charter services.
ECS Group has already been working the markets in Mexico, Ecuador, Peru, Columbia, and Argentina.
