Condor, TUI and Sunclass list bellyhold capacity on cargo.one

From this month, passenger airlines Condor, TUI and Sunclass are offering their bellyhold capacity on cargo.one, the digital cargo booking platform.

Cargo.one said the partnership with Condor, TUI and Sunclass – which are all managed by general sales and services agent (GSSA) ECS Group – will be particularly useful to freight forwarders booking capacity to the Canary and ABC Islands.

It added that collaboration between different players is essential to reach the next phase of the air cargo industry’s digitalisation.

Initially, the carriers’ capacity will be made available in Germany and it is expected to be followed by key European countries such as Belgium, the Netherlands and more.

Cedric Millet, chief strategy and digital officer at ECS Group, said: “As part of our overall transformation agenda, we decided to partner with several digital solutions providers and cargo.one is one of them.”

He added: “Online distribution is a needed service for us to allow our principals to rise from the Covid-19 crisis faster and stronger. Making the services of our partner airlines Condor, TUI and Sunclass available on cargo.one is a step forward in this strategy.”

Moritz Claussen, co-founder and managing director at cargo.one, added: “Being able to offer freight forwarders the broadest possible network and capacity available for booking to any destination in the world is an important goal for us at cargo.one — in particular in the upcoming peak season.

“We look forward to welcoming Condor, TUI and Sunclass with their unique networks to our platform. To partner with ECS Group on this integration marks an important milestone for the industry. It signals our joint commitment towards more collaboration amongst all participants of the industry to create a bright and sustainable future for air cargo.”
