Qantas Freight, the cargo division of Australia’s national carrier, and cargo.one signed a collaboration that brings the airline’s capacity to more freight forwarders globally using the cargo.one platform.
“Qantas Freight and cargo.one have combined efforts in recent months to offer forwarders a seamless, reliable and simplified end to end digital quoting and booking experience. Reflecting how far digital freight has progressed, cargo.one now offers instant bookings
for Qantas’ famous Kangaroo Route from the U.K. to Australia after successfully launching trans-Pacific services on the platform late last year. Qantas is the only carrier to offer non stop services from the U.K. to Australia with its daily flights from London to Perth, as
well as its daily flights to Australia via Singapore,” says an official release from cargo.one.
With a vast domestic network and over 500 destinations worldwide, including Jetstar services, Qantas Freight plays a critical role in connecting Australia with major economies and cargo lanes worldwide, the release added.
Qantas Freight operates over 20 cargo handling terminals around Australia and Los Angeles , and recently announced a substantial expansion into Western Sydney International Airport’s new air cargo precinct.
“With its presence in many global freight markets, cargo.one is an ideal partner to help grow digital sales and connect our brand and products with more freight forwarders around the globe,” says Igor Kwiatkowski, Executive Manager Qantas Freight. “We’re looking
forward to strengthening our partnership with cargo.one and delivering for our mutual customers.”
Moritz Claussen, Founder & Co-CEO of cargo.one adds: “We are delighted to play a key role in shaping the digital sales engine for Qantas Freight. Having supported its teams over the past year to commence its external digital sales, we look forward to bringing more Qantas Freight capacity live and working to further extend its digital market share”.
Forwarders using cargo.one can now book Qantas Freight capacity for general cargo up to 10,000kg on flights from major cities such as Los Angeles, Chicago and London to destinations in Australia and New Zealand, the release added.
