Delta Cargo launches five-day flexible search for cargo bookings
The new feature lets customers compare flights, schedules, capacity and pricing over five days in one search, making shipment planning and booking more efficient.
Delta Cargo has launched a new five-day flexible-date search feature on deltacargo.com, allowing customers to compare flight options across five days in a single search. The new capability gives customers greater flexibility to identify alternative booking options, plan shipments more efficiently and avoid restarting their search.
The new feature allows customers to view up to five days of available flight options while continuing to access real-time schedules, capacity and pricing, along with applicable customer rate and allotment indicators.
"At Delta Cargo, we're continually investing in digital capabilities that make it easier for customers to do business with us," said Sebastian Kunze, Director, Revenue Management. "Expanding search visibility from one day to five gives customers greater flexibility to compare flights, evaluate alternatives, and find real-time solutions that best meet their shipping needs, all within a single search."
According to Delta Cargo, it is one of the first US passenger airlines to introduce a five-day flexible-date search capability through its direct cargo booking channel.
"Customer feedback played an important role in shaping this enhancement," said Troy Easterday, General Manager, Digital Transformation and Technology. "By bringing multi-day visibility to available shipping options on deltacargo.com, we're making it easier for customers to compare flights, plan shipments more efficiently, and book with greater confidence."
The new feature builds on Delta Cargo's digital tools on deltacargo.com, powered by Revenue Technology Services (RTS) Velocity and Accelerate solutions. Customers can shop, book and manage shipments, schedule future bookings and track shipments in real time through the platform. They can also continue booking through partner platforms including cargo.one, CargoWise and Freightos.
Delta Cargo said the introduction of the flexible-date search reflects its continued focus on providing digital solutions that make it easier for customers to shop, book and track shipments.
