Globe Air Cargo France works closely with All Nippon Airways (ANA) and Nippon Cargo Airlines (NCA) to strengthen NCA’s market position in France, which has been part of ANA Holdings since August 2025. As part of this cooperation, the two Japanese airlines are pooling their networks, while GAC France acts as the central GSSA contact in France. This aims to ensure optimal capacity utilization and a digital improvement of business processes.
Jean Ceccaldi, Managing Director of ECS Group, emphasizes: “GAC France plays a central role in this historic integration in the cargo sector and will actively contribute to optimizing the capacity and utilization of the NCA network. The goals for the next six to twelve months are clear: to strengthen NCA’s market position and market share through increased visibility, as well as to expand and consolidate important customer relationships.” The partnership is seen as particularly advantageous as it combines cargo and passenger flights to France, offering customers a broader range of products, capacities, and destinations.
Franck Tordjman, Managing Director of Globe Air Cargo France, adds: “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 offerings, we can create new opportunities for our customers while providing greater visibility and efficiency in key areas.”
GAC France already has an established central ANA Cargo team that proactively coordinates all operations and customer inquiries. The focus is on key customers and specific industries such as aerospace, pharmaceuticals, automotive, and high technology. With the integration of NCA’s customer segments, oversized cargo, CAO, and other high-value or specialized goods will also come into focus.
The NCA fleet of eight Boeing 747-8F operates five weekly flights from Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport (CDG) via Amsterdam or Frankfurt to Japan (NRT/HND/OKA/KIX/NGO/FUK). Daily flights to Hong Kong (HKG) and Shanghai (PVG) are also available. Bangkok (BKK) is served three times a week, while flights to Singapore (SIN) and Taipei (TPE) occur twice a week.
Jean Ceccaldi highlights: “The larger the network and the more extensive the product offering, the more important it is to ensure maximum process efficiency. This can only be achieved through digitization, which is standard across the ECS Group. From real-time accessibility of capacities through the CargoAi booking platform to instant quote-to-booking functions and optimal capacity utilization through SkyPallet, NCA will benefit from GAC France’s experience in combining innovation with comprehensive market knowledge.”
