Emirates SkyCargo launches direct connection with Kuehne+Nagel

Providing direct access to its market-leading products and services and extensive global network, Emirates SkyCargo is now available on Kuehne+Nagel’s internal booking engine.

The deal marks the first time Emirates SkyCargo has made its services available via a freight forwarder-owned portal, a strategy that further elevates the airline’s world-class customer service experience, says an official release.

"Through this direct host-to-host connection, Emirates SkyCargo streamlines the booking journey for Kuehne+Nagel agents, providing access to the airline’s schedules, rates and available capacity in real-time. The connection, first launched in Switzerland and Austria, will open up to users in select countries across Europe, the Americas, Africa, Asia and Oceania by the end of the year."
