ECS Group ignites JetSMART Cargo

Sep 15, 2025

ECS Group, the global GSSA leader, marks six months of dynamic growth and operational excellence with JetSMART, South America's leading ultra-low-cost airline group. Following their four-year Total Cargo Management (TCM) contract, ECS Group now oversees over 25,000 annual flights for JetSMART’s four AOCs (Chile, Colombia, Peru, Argentina).

A regional team of 25 dedicated ECS Group specialists has established a robust commercial and technical infrastructure, now enabling cargo service across eight countries and fourteen top destinations—including Buenos Aires, Rio de Janeiro, Lima, Medellín, and Montevideo. A digitalized central Control Tower in San José, Costa Rica, ensures compliance, operational agility, and seamless supervision for JetSMART’s A320/A321 fleet.

Through advanced platforms like Apollo, Quantum and CargoAi, ECS Group offers real-time analytics, giving freight forwarders unprecedented access to both domestic and international cargo corridors. The unique scope of ECS Group’s TCM goes beyond classic GSA duties. Their collaboration with TCE enables them to encompass ramp and security coordination as well as hands-on auditing to align network-wide procedures.

JetSMART and ECS Group’s shared vision is to open the entire airline network for cargo by end-2025, supported by more than 25 pending interline agreements to power global connectivity to the United States, Europe, and Asia. In 2026, ECS Group plans to drive e-commerce growth through regional warehousing, a new express product offering, and strategic alliances.
