Emirates SkyCargo has established an API connection with DB Schenker, a global leader in logistics service solutions.

The cargo carrier noted that by leveraging digital tools, Emirates SkyCargo aims to elevate its customer experience further and enable the swifter and more efficient flow of international trade.

“The host-to-host connection with DB Schenker’s internal booking engine optimises the air freight booking process, providing agents with direct access to Emirates SkyCargo’s schedules, Standard and Contract Tariff rates and available capacity, as well as the airline’s vast global network of over 140 destinations across six continents,” Emirates SkyCargo said in a statement.

Launching first in Germany, Austria and Switzerland, the carrier noted that the connection will then launch globally, facilitating trade with key markets including Hong Kong, China, Singapore, India, Germany and the USA.

Initially, the service will enable agents to book general cargo, with the possibility of adding other products from Emirates SkyCargo’s multi-vertical, industry-leading portfolio in the near future.
