Feb 09, 2026

ECS Group has signed a strategic, multiyear GSA agreement with Royal Jordanian Airlines, representing an important step in the carrier’s commercial presence in North America.

Effective January 10th, 2026, ECS Group, through its U.S. subsidiary Globe Air Cargo (GAC), takes over cargo sales representation for Chicago O’Hare (ORD) and Detroit (DTW). This partnership positions ECS Group as Royal Jordanian’s key commercial Partner across key U.S. gateways.

Under this new mandate, GAC will market significant cargo capacity per Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner flight, offering U.S. exporters fast, reliable access to Amman (AMM) and unmatched connectivity across Royal Jordanian’s widebody and freighter network. Commercial focus will extend focus on key markets including Libya, Tripoli (TP), Damascus (DAM), Jeddah (JED), Beirut (BEY), Cairo (CAI), Istanbul (IST), Dubai (DXB) and Bangkok (BKK)—markets where ECS Group is poised to support growth across priority destinations.

The contract includes full GSA services supported by ECS Group’s integrated tech ecosystem, giving customers seamless digital booking, pricing intelligence and real-time visibility.

“This partnership reflects the scale of trust Royal Jordanian places in our ability to transform their cargo results in one of the world’s most competitive markets,” said Jean Ceccaldi, CEO of ECS Group. “With GAC’s strength on the ground and our digital capabilities through CargoAI, ECS Group will generate accelerated growth for Royal Jordanian and deliver U.S. customers a level of reach and performance they have not had before.”

“Partnering with ECS Group and Globe Air Cargo brings strong market expertise, proven commercial capabilities and advanced digital tools that will support our growth objectives, enhance customer reach, and optimize the utilization of our cargo capacity across key U.S. gateways and beyond,” commented Khaled Alkhawaldeh, Director Cargo Commercial, Royal Jordanian Airline.

With strong capacity, premium network access and the commercial force of ECS Group behind it, Royal Jordanian is set to achieve support sustainable cargo growth in the United States.
