Globe Air Cargo Dominican Republic, a subsidiary of ECS Group, has signed a new agreement with Uniworld Air Cargo to support the launch of its freighter operations connecting Punta Cana (PUJ) and Panama City (PTY), with onward connections across Latin America and beyond.

Effective March 23, 2026, the operation will run twice a week, every Thursday and Sunday, utilizing a Boeing 737 freighter with an estimated weekly capacity of 40 tons. The service is designed to transport a wide range of commodities, including general cargo, live animals (AVI), perishables (PER), and oversized shipments.

Through PTY and extended connectivity, the service opens access to key destinations including Bogotá, Caracas, Havana, San Salvador, Lima, San José, as well as enhanced routing options via NLU (Mexico), creating additional gateways into the United States and Canada.

This new partnership reinforces ECS Group’s ability to rapidly deploy tailored cargo solutions, combining strong commercial execution with operational expertise. Customers benefit from optimized capacity access, increased flexibility, and seamless booking supported by ECS Group’s digital ecosystem and global sales infrastructure.

Ivan Mejia, Managing Director of Globe Air Cargo Dominican Republic, stated:
“Securing this agreement with Uniworld is a strong validation of our commercial agility and market expertise. This operation not only strengthens connectivity within the region but also unlocks new opportunities for our customers through reliable, high-frequency freighter capacity.”

Jossette Navarro, Commercial Director at Uniworld Air Cargo, added:
“The Dominican Republic represents a market with significant growth potential for both exports and imports. Beyond its local strength, it is a strategic gateway to Europe and Canada. Through this partnership with ECS Group, we are confident in our ability to accelerate our market penetration while offering competitive and efficient cargo solutions across the region and into North America.”

With this agreement, ECS Group continues to demonstrate its role as a high-impact GSSA, delivering measurable commercial performance and enabling airline partners to capture new market opportunities with speed and precision.

With this new collaboration, ECS Group continues to expand its footprint in the Americas, reinforcing its position as a leading GSSA delivering scalable, market-driven cargo solutions.
