Air France KLM Martinair Cargo announced that it has partnered with cargo.one to offer its capacity on the booking platform.
In a statement, the carrier noted that the digital booking option for Air France KLM Martinair Cargo will benefit many freight forwarders and offer ideal support for the carrier's network connectivity.
The airline will also use this augmented distribution setup to reach more customers across most of its markets.
"Combining the fleets and capabilities of two national carriers and a renowned air cargo operator, Air France KLM Martinair Cargo aims to provide seamless connections across the world," it said, adding that it offers 295 shipping destinations across 110 countries, and its 500 aircraft fleet carried over one million tonnes of cargo in the past twelve months.
The announcement said its dual hubs of Paris Charles de Gaulle and Amsterdam Airport Schiphol both offer freight forwarders with speed and reliability amid ongoing challenges in the market.
"Air France KLM Martinair Cargo has delivered a full spectrum of digital services that allows forwarders to book, share, cancel and modify bookings online. The airline is continuing to build an extensive multi-channel distribution strategy focused on deriving maximum customer value from its strong network and capabilities," it added.
Continued digital expansion
Through its partnership with cargo.one, AFKLMP Cargo said it intends to continue expanding its digital presence and offer customers an additional booking option alongside its own myCargo online booking portal.
"The cooperation with cargo.one fits in with our overall channel strategy. We have our own full-service platform, myCargo, where we offer all of our services, including our most recent feature, Modify my Booking," said Gertjan Roelands, SVP of Sales and Distribution Air France KLM Martinair Cargo.
AFKLMP is also investing "significantly" in its digital offering and expects to launch some unique new services soon.
"Based on customer traction, we have decided to extend our cooperation with cargo.one by connecting our booking option. We believe this channel compliments our own online platform," Roelands added.
