Kirsten de Bruijn, Executive Vice President, Cargo, WestJet says: "Our expansion into European markets through the Paris hub is a key part of our growth strategy. ECS Group's technological support and network have been indispensable in enhancing our service capabilities, allowing us to pursue new opportunities in additional European countries."
