ECS SIGNS CONTRACT WITH ROYAL BRUNEI

ECS Group has signed a three-year contract with Royal Brunei Airlines to act as the carrier’s general sales and service agent in North and South Asia as well as in Europe.

 

The collaboration enables Royal Brunei to fill its belly space where required and to maximize yield.

 

Brunei is a major producer of oil and natural gas, and relies on the import of commodities such as spare parts and perishables.

“Royal Brunei is a vibrant and growing airline with a great diversity of customer-oriented and reliable services”, said Adrien Thominet, CEO of ECS Group Singapore. “Its values and network perfectly match ECS’s setup in Asia, allowing synergies that no other GSSA can offer.  We are looking forward to playing a key part in promoting the further success of Royal Brunei.”

 

The airline flies from its hub in Bandar Seri Begawan to destinations including Bangkok, Denpasar, Ho Chi Minh City, Hong Kong, Jeddah, Kota Kinabalu, Kuala Lumpur, London via Dubai, Manila, Seoul, Shanghai, Singapore and Surabaya. Dubai and London are to be separated into standalone non-stop routes from October 28, 2018.

 

ECS and its subsidiaries will help to expand the network by providing additional road feeder services from London Heathrow.

 

Royal Brunei currently operates a fleet of seven Airbus A320s, with a belly capacity of approximately 2 tonnes each, and four Boeing 787-8s, each with a belly capacity of approximately 15 tonnes.
