China Eastern Airlines is to partner with EFIS Maroc on the launch of three weekly flights between Casablanca (CMN) and Shanghai (PVG) via Marseille (MRS).

Starting January 19, 2025, the flights will operate on Tuesdays, Fridays and Sundays, with Boeing 787-900 aircraft featuring an 18-tonne cargo capacity.

EFIS Maroc, a subsidiary of the General Sales & Service Agent (GSSA) ECS Group, says the partnership further solidifies its leadership in African cargo logistics.

The service is designed to primarily support the automotive industry by ensuring the timely and secure transport of high-value components between Morocco and China.

It will not only strengthen supply chains but will also play a key role in fostering deeper trade relations and economic growth between the two regions.

Jean Ceccaldi, chief executive of ECS Group, said: “This partnership with China Eastern Airlines marks a key milestone for EFIS Maroc and ECS Group. Combining our regional expertise with innovative tools, we aim to redefine standards in efficiency and reliability for cargo logistics.”

EFIS Maroc brings the full power of ECS Group’s global network and advanced digital tools to this partnership. Squair, ECS Group’s proprietary solution for optimizing customs reporting, combined with CargoAi’s advanced digital booking platform, will streamline operations and enhance transparency.

This comprehensive approach enables EFIS Maroc to provide a tailored cargo management solution for China Eastern Airlines, enhancing both operational efficiency and customer satisfaction.
