Thai Airways has selected ECS Group, through its subsidiary HWF Scandinavia and Finland, as its exclusive General Sales and Services Agent (GSSA) in Sweden and Denmark, effective May 15, 2025 â reaffirming a strong and long-standing partnership.
This move underscores Thai Airwaysâ continued confidence in ECS Groupâs proven expertise, powerful global network, and ability to drive commercial success through deep local market understanding. It also marks a new chapter of growth in Northern Europe, with a focus on delivering high-value, high-performance cargo solutions tailored to the needs of customers in the region.
From Scandinavia, Thai Airways operates daily direct services from Stockholm (Airbus A350) and Copenhagen (Boeing 777) to Bangkok, providing seamless connections to the Asia-Pacific region â including multiple daily flights to Australia and major Southeast Asian markets. This robust schedule ensures reliable uplift capacity, speed, and efficiency for customers moving everything from pharmaceuticals and perishables to high-value electronics and VUN (vulnerable) cargo.
HWF will manage all sales and customer service operations, but more than just booking and handling, the team will bring real commercial insight, local engagement, and tailored segmentation strategies that reflect the diverse needs of Nordic shippers. The strength of ECS Groupâs local teams on the ground, backed by a global support structure, ensures Thai Airways remains agile and responsive to every opportunity.
ECS Group has been a valuable partner for Thai Airways across multiple markets, and this new chapter in Sweden and Denmark builds on years of mutual trust and collaboration,” said Thai Airways. âThe combination of local knowledge, operational excellence, and strategic thinking that ECS brings through HWF gives us the confidence that we will continue to stand out in competitive Nordic markets â not just as a carrier, but as a true logistics partner.â
ECS Groupâs digital edge, powered by CargoTech, further enhances this partnership. With smart tools for pricing, real-time data tracking, performance analytics, and booking optimization, Thai Airwaysâ cargo customers in the region can expect streamlined processes, enhanced visibility, and more informed decision-making every step of the way.
âThis isnât just another GSSA appointment,â said Jean Ceccaldi, CEO of ECS Group. âItâs a demonstration of how Thai Airways and ECS Group together deliver value far beyond capacity â through expertise, technology, and a deep-rooted commitment to customer success.â
Torbjörn Lundblad, Managing Director of HWF Scandinavia and Finland, added: âOur team is deeply invested in this market. We know the customers, we understand their cargo, and weâre ready to bring Thai Airways even closer to their needs. Weâre honored by the trust placed in us and excited for whatâs ahead.â
