Germany's Condor is looking to boost its digital cargo growth as it announced a partnership with cargo.one booking platform. 

The leisure airline said it had entered a "new expanded partnership" with cargo.one to make its entire global network available on the market-leading digital procurement platform.

"The airline is now working closely with cargo.one to target thousands of freight forwarders across cargo.one's vast footprint of markets," it added.

Condor noted that it will work with cargo.one experts to bolster digital sales efforts in key forwarding markets such as Europe and the United States.  

Condor cited its almost 70 years of air cargo experience — describing itself as a "key carrier" in the DACH aviation sector. 

It added that utilizing belly capacity from a fleet of more than 50 aircraft and ground facilities in Frankfurt, Dusseldorf and Zurich, the German carrier offers capacity to over 100 destinations across Europe, the Middle East, Africa, the Indian Ocean, North America and the Caribbean.

Condor said freight forwarders will benefit from the most seamless and user-friendly way to discover, quote and book Condor capacity around the clock.

"It is imperative to our digital cargo strategy that Condor services are present on the most popular and relevant booking platforms. Benefiting from our long-standing cooperation, cargo.one can guarantee that every Condor customer receives an excellent experience," said Thilo Schäfer, head of cargo at Condor.

Moritz Claussen, founder & co-CEO of cargo.one, for his part, said, "We have great pride and affection towards our collaboration with Condor. Having kicked off Condor's digital distribution with its cargo partners back in 2020, we are excited to now be supporting the airline directly to accelerate its digital sales trajectory and fully capitalize upon its many market potentials."

Condor noted that partnering with cargo.one delivers airlines like itself a "rapid increase" in sales reach for valuable global markets such as the Americas, Asia and Africa.

Plans for general cargo, perishables capacity

"In time, Condor aims to launch its general cargo, passive temperature-controlled and perishables capacity in all relevant markets taken from cargo.one's community in 121 countries," it added.

The announcement said from July 2024, freight forwarders using cargo.one can book Condor capacity firstly for destinations in Europe, the US and Canada, with more regions worldwide being added in the coming weeks.
