Philippine Airlines (PAL), the country's national carrier, has announced that it will soon debut its capacity in the digital booking market, following a new partnership with cargo.one.

cargo.one enables the airline to target thousands of freight forwarders in relevant markets digitally around the clock, bolstering its brand presence, reducing its cost of sale, and gaining market-responsive digital pricing.

In the announcement, cargo.one said freight forwarders are sure to benefit from Philippine Airlines' renewed cargo service offers for the Philippines and across the region.

Respected as the very first commercial airline in Asia, Philippine Airlines extends its renowned attentive customer service levels to its air cargo services.

The carrier is also expanding its widebody fleet to facilitate an ambitious cargo growth strategy.

Philippine Airlines offers freight forwarders a unique combination of 37 international destinations throughout South and East Asia, North America, Australia and the Middle East, and 32 destinations in the Philippines as well as favorable regional connectivity. 

Through the partnership, cargo.one will soon bring Philippine Airlines' capacity directly to thousands of forwarders globally. Meanwhile, the Philippine carrier will gain cargo.one's customer-centric and seamless digital booking experience, guaranteed to every customer.
