United Cargo expands online booking offering

United Cargo continued to roll out its online presence by placing its capacity on online booking portal cargo.one.

The airline’s capacity will initially be available on cargo.one for select customers in the US, Canada, Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Spain, Switzerland, and the UK.

United Cargo plans to progressively introduce the platform to additional markets in the months ahead.

The move is a “significant milestone in our digital technology expansion efforts”, United said.

Jan Krems, president of United Cargo, said: “Customers are looking for innovative and efficient ways to engage with us and manage their air freight bookings. By teaming up with the cargo.one platform, we’re offering an additional digital channel that complements our existing online services and gives our customers the flexibility of more booking options

“We’re really excited about the digital journey we are on and our collaboration with cargo.one is another step forward in enhancing the customer experience.”

Moritz Claussen, founder & co-chief executive of cargo.one, said: “A new combination of United Cargo capacity and the cargo.one platform provides every forwarder with a boosted ability to quote and win shipments around the clock.

“Collaborating as industry leaders, every customer will receive the maximum value and highest quality end-to-end digital experience possible”.

The airline has been investing in its digital offering in recent years. Earlier this year, the airline also added its capacity to online booking portal WebCargo.
