Norse Atlantic Airways partners with WebCargo
Norse Atlantic to open up booking for WebCargo’s forwarders to and from Europe to seven destinations in the U.S.
Norse Atlantic Airways and WebCargo by Freightos, the leading air cargo booking platform, announced a partnership to offer the European-based carrier’s capacities from the biggest European Union cities for instant eBooking and payment on WebCargo.
Norse Atlantic will open up real-time booking for WebCargo’s thousands of forwarders on its flights to and from Europe to seven destinations in the U.S. for technology, perishables, and other shipments, says a release from Freightos. "Of note, for those forwarders booking to Latin America, Norse Atlantic operates out of Miami International, the gateway to South America."
Manel Galindo, CEO, WebCargo says: “We’re excited to play a supporting role in Norse Atlantic’s growth as their primary air cargo digital sales platform. It’s a win-win for forwarders currently on WebCargo who will benefit from the increased cargo capacity, and the speed and flexibility of WebCargo’s unparalleled platform has the power to boost Norse’s cargo sales and brand growth."
Later this year, Norse plans to open capacity from London to Barbados and Jamaica, and from Oslo to Thailand, further expanding WebCargo’s footprint in Asia and the Caribbean, the release added.
“Cargo will play an important role in the future of Norse," says Jennifer Bendelow, Head of Cargo, Norse Atlantic Airways. "Partnering with WebCargo is a testament to our commitment to innovation and to delivering exceptional services to our customers. Our Viking spirit of ingenuity, coupled with WebCargo's platform, will extend our reach to key freight markets."
Norse Atlantic exclusively operates Boeing 787 Dreamliners featuring innovative technologies that make them greener including 25 percent lower CO2 emissions and 50 percent quieter than the previous generation of aircraft, the release added.
