LOT Cargo has partnered with cargo.one to make its global capacity accessible on the booking platform for digital air freight procurement and sales.

The air freight division of Poland's national carrier, LOT Polish Airlines, said that in the coming weeks, LOT Cargo services will be offered to cargo.one's user base of thousands of freight forwarding branches in every major cargo market.

The carrier is improving its brand visibility and market adaptability by expanding its digital sales through cargo.one, which applies expertise gained from digitalizing sales for over 65 airlines worldwide.

Aside from its sizable intra-European connectivity, LOT Cargo also offers direct, wide-body, long-haul capacity from Central and Eastern Europe to important hub airports in the United States, Canada, China, India, Japan, and South Korea.

"Forwarders in all corners of the world will shortly secure LOT Cargo's extensive global capacity using the most user-friendly booking and quoting method. With the widest choice of carrier and market combinations, cargo.one enables forwarders to win more shipments, increase their working speed and better deploy their teams," the announcement said.

It added that users also benefit from expert support and innovative tools for managing their shipments with ease.

LOT Cargo operates a modern cargo terminal at Warsaw Chopin Airport and offers road feeder services to provide forwarders with efficient and flexible options. The carrier plans to expand its fleet from 75 to 110 aircraft in the coming years as part of its growth strategy.

Michał Grochowski, head of cargo and mail at LOT Polish Airlines said the cargo.one partnership will deliver valuable opportunities for LOT Cargo to grow its sales and enhance the digital experiences we provide.

"As a partner, cargo.one offers uniquely strong technology and valuable digital procurement expertise, supporting LOT Cargo to ensure the very strongest end to end service delivery," he added.

LOT Cargo is broadening its digital sales with cargo.one, expanding its distribution to 134 countries at a low acquisition cost. The platform's expertise in digital sales will help LOT Cargo improve efficiency, optimize sales team performance, and adapt to opportunities in key markets.

The cargo carrier said that forwarders in the United States, Canada, and Poland using cargo.one can already quote and book LOT Cargo's global capacity for general cargo shipments up to 1000 kg to popular destinations including London, New York, Miami, Tokyo, Seoul, Delhi, and Dubai.

The announcement said the airline is also planning to launch additional markets and capacity products, including perishables, in the coming months.
