In his new position, he will oversee operations in India and neighbouring markets through Globe Air Cargo and AVS. His priorities include strengthening partnerships with airlines, expanding market presence and advancing digital transformation to improve efficiency and customer satisfaction. Supported by Aerion’s global ecosystem, including CargoTech, Healthc’Air, Mail&More and Squair, he aims to raise the region’s digital and operational standards.

ECS Group CEO Jean Ceccaldi said the appointment supports the company’s long-term vision of building local excellence backed by global capabilities. He emphasised the importance of India and the wider Subcontinent for airline partners and expressed confidence that Girish’s leadership, market expertise and customer focus will help scale the group’s presence across key sectors such as pharma, e-commerce and digital logistics.
