airBaltic Cargo partners with cargo.one to accelerate digital sales
Forwarders can leverage airBaltic Cargo’s connectivity from the Baltic region to over 80 destinations globally.
airBaltic Cargo, the cargo division of the Latvian national airline, is partnering with cargo.one to expand its market presence globally and boost revenues.
cargo.one will offer airBaltic Cargo customers the most convenient and user-friendly booking method, and will enable the airline to market its services to a footprint of freight forwarders across 134 countries, says an official release from cargo.one.
Headquartered in Riga, Latvia, airBaltic Cargo offers freight forwarders belly capacity on more than 100 routes throughout Baltics, Europe, the Middle East, North Africa, and the Caucasus, the release added. "Leveraging its main hub in Riga and additional bases in Tallinn, Vilnius, Tampere, and seasonally Gran Canaria, airBaltic Cargo flies into many shorter runway destinations that other airlines often do not. airBaltic Cargo also boasts one of the youngest and most efficient fleets in the world, consisting of 49 Airbus A220-300 aircraft with plans to expand to 100 aircraft by 2030."
The agreement coincides with airBaltic Cargo’s expansion, having recently invested in The Baltic Cargo Hub – soon to be the largest dedicated air cargo handling center in the Baltics, and will further enhance airBaltic Cargo’s import, export and transit capabilities at RIX Riga Airport, the release added.
Iļja Seļiverstovs, VP, Cargo, airBaltic says: “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 & Co-CEO, cargo.one adds: “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.”
Forwarders using cargo.one will be able to book airBaltic Cargo capacity for general cargo, perishables and pharma shipments from winter 2024, the release added.
