An interesting partnership in the online booking space with freighter airlines AirBridgeCargo (ABC) and CargoLogicAir (CLA) expanding their small and medium forwarder customer base via the cargo.one platform.
The carriers will be, said a spokesman, the first all-cargo airlines to make their global capacities available for digital booking with “instant confirmation”.
Forwarders of all sizes will be able to “search for, compare and book offers of ABC and CLA”.
Robert van de Weg, VP Sales and Marketing for Volga-Dnepr Group, the Russian parent of ABC, commented: “Offering our capacities on cargo.one enables us to meet customers’ growing demand for digital solutions and to give forwarders of all sizes access to our large global freighter network.”
“Being capable now to better reach small and medium-sized forwarders through cargo.one will also help us increase our short-term capacity sales and thus our load factors, to grow even more sustainably,” added David Kerr, Chief Executive Of CLA.
Hauke Langert, CEO Airfreight at forwarder Skyline Express International, commented: “Gaining faster and more efficient access to freighter capacities is a real game-changer.
“cargo.one now allows us to have 24/7 access to CLA and ABC capacities and enables us to serve our customers and partners based on real-time rates.”
Steffen Löbert, Managing Director at CS4 Logistics, said: “We highly welcome the partnership and looking forward to expand our relationship with ABC and CLA because of the much easier access now.”
