Latvia-based airBaltic Cargo has placed its capacity on cargo.one to enable forwarders across 134 countries to quickly access, quote, book and track its capacity.
From winter 2024, freight forwarders using cargo.one will be able to book airBaltic Cargo capacity for general cargo, perishables and temperature-sensitive pharma shipments, across its entire network.
“Accelerating its digital distribution with cargo.one allows airBaltic Cargo to better scale sales across a truly global footprint, build its brand presence within thousands of forwarding branches, lower its cost of sale, and boost sales efficiency and market responsiveness. Cargo.one is the industry leader for optimizing the digital distribution progress of all sizes of airline,” said cargo.one.
The company added: “AirBaltic Cargo’s partnership with cargo.one strengthens the airline’s digitalisation programme, ensuring that a greater proportion of customers benefit from digital speeds, accuracy and convenience. Booking on cargo.one also equips airBaltic Cargo customers with cutting-edge tools for winning and processing air shipments.”
Headquartered in Riga and with additional bases in Tallinn, Vilnius, Tampere, and seasonally Gran Canaria, airBaltic Cargo offers freight forwarders belly capacity on more than 100 routes throughout the Baltics, Europe, the Middle East, North Africa, and the Caucasus. The cargo division of airBaltic utilises 49 Airbus A220-300 aircraft and airBaltic plans to expand to 100 aircraft by 2030.
The partnership with cargo.one follows airBaltic Cargo’s recent investment in ‘The Baltic Cargo Hub’ – soon to be the largest dedicated air cargo handling centre in the Baltics. The hub is anticipated to further enhance airBaltic Cargo’s import, export and transit capabilities at Riga Airport.
Iļja Seļiverstovs, vice president cargo at airBaltic, commented: “Digital sales is a vital driver of our cargo growth plans. It makes every sense to leverage cargo.one to expand our market reach and sales, and ensure airBaltic Cargo services remain front of mind with thousands of forwarders using the platform daily. Working alongside cargo.one, we will ensure that every customer receives the best possible end-to-end experience.”
Moritz Claussen, founder and co-chief executive of cargo.one, added: “We are thrilled to enable airBaltic Cargo to take its digital sales strategy to the next level, and our collaboration will capitalise upon its strengths in relevant markets. Forwarders rely upon cargo.one’s comprehensive global market view to discover, quote and book their air shipments, and the addition of airBaltic Cargo capacities will provide a strong option for many.”
Recent new additions to cargo.one’s platform include Flydubai Cargo and time critical forwarder time:matters.
