French long-haul low-cost carrier French bee has renewed its General Sales and Service Agent (GSSA) agreement with Globe Air Cargo Canada, part of ECS Group, reinforcing its commitment to the North American air cargo market with a new three-year partnership. The renewed agreement covers cargo sales activities across Canada and the United States, continuing a long-standing collaboration between the two companies.
The partnership supports one of the few dedicated transatlantic cargo links available to Canadian exporters. French bee remains the only airline offering direct widebody cargo capacity between Montréal–Trudeau International Airport and Paris-Orly Airport, providing a non-stop connection to France and onward access to key European markets, including the Rungis International Market, one of the world’s largest wholesale food distribution centres.
The airline operates the route three times weekly during the winter schedule and increases frequencies to daily services during the summer season using Airbus A350-900 and A350-1000 aircraft. The modern fleet offers reliable cargo capacity for a broad range of commodities while supporting faster transit times across the North Atlantic.
The service has become an important export channel for Canadian perishables, including seafood, fresh produce, mushrooms, berries and premium beef. In addition, it caters to growing demand for pharmaceutical shipments, healthcare products, e-commerce consignments and other time-sensitive cargo requiring dependable air freight solutions.
Under the renewed agreement, French bee and Globe Air Cargo Canada aim to further expand cargo opportunities on the Canada-Europe trade lane by increasing perishables volumes, strengthening healthcare logistics and enhancing the customer experience through digital capabilities such as e-booking and dynamic pricing. The collaboration also seeks to improve commercial responsiveness and operational efficiency as demand for specialised cargo services continues to grow.
The renewal underscores the strategic importance of direct, widebody cargo connectivity between Canada and Europe at a time when shippers continue to prioritise speed, reliability and digital access to capacity across key international trade corridors.
