EFIS Maroc, a subsidiary of ECS Group, has partnered with China Eastern Airlines to strengthen African cargo logistics. Starting January 19, 2025, the collaboration will launch three weekly flights connecting Casablanca and Shanghai via Marseille, operated on Boeing 787-900 aircraft with an 18-tonne cargo capacity.
The service will primarily cater to the automotive industry by ensuring the secure and timely transport of high-value components between Morocco and China, fostering deeper trade ties and economic growth between the two regions.
