ECS Group completes first charter mission with Amelia International

ECS Group completed its first charter mission with Amelia International, utilising one of its ten #NewAbilities, Just Fly It.

The charter service, Just Fly It, was chosen by the Slovenian airline for its first charter flight of their new ATR-72 freighter to transport an urgent shipment of automotive components.

Within a matter of hours, ECS Group agreed the contractual terms and conditions with the customer and supervised the operational preparations for the flight.

Matija Krajnc, Managing Director at Amelia International declares: “We successfully operated our first charter flight from Gyor, Hungary, to Bremen Germany. The flight, on behalf of a customer in the automotive industry, took place on 10 February 2022, carrying a full payload of around 7.5 tonnes of automotive components. We are delighted that our ATR-72 Freighter has finally embarked on its first mission to provide much-needed air cargo capacity within Europe. With ECS Group’s support, we look forward to many more, similar flights, soon.”

Robert Van De Weg, Chief Commercial Officer of ECS Group, comments: “We are pleased to have supported Amelia International with the first flight of their new ATR-72 freighter. Our Total Cargo Expertise (TCE) team is on hand to provide Amelia International with operational support and we are also assisting them with our commercial competence as they get going in the fast-moving world of air cargo. We wish Amelia International success and look forward to continued partnership as they grow in future.”
