Air freight capacity between 70,000 airport pairs across more than 90 countries can now be sourced and booked on Maersk.com. The company’s new digital solution offers instant pricing as well as a pallet of value-added services that can be added to the booking. Maersk Customs Services are also part of the parcel, should customers opt for this, and once booked, shipments can be tracked around the clock, around the globe. The online solution is part of Maersk’s integrated logistics strategy and is designed with simplicity in mind, so that customers can quickly and easily complete all the required steps digitally, from anywhere in the world. “With the launch of this new solution, Maersk takes further steps towards connecting and truly simplifying its customers’ supply chains,” the release states, going on to add: “Maersk’s air freight solutions offer cargo movement from most of India’s international airports. Combined with Maersk’s integrated logistics solutions that include a robust hinterland coverage of distribution network, Maersk allows such cargo movement to and from 80% of India’s postal/ZIP codes with end-to-end pick-up and deliveries.”
Darryl Judd, Regional Head of Air Freight for Maersk in the Indian Subcontinent, Middle East and Africa, commented: “In today’s age, where volatility and uncertainty have become perpetual potential threats to the global supply chains, our customers are looking for agility and resilience that allows them to make quick decisions around the movement of their cargo across borders. By booking with us on Maersk.com, our customers get instant prices, and the transparency allows them to make informed decisions. Today, manufacturing has truly diversified with global value chains. We are noticing that customers sitting in one part of the world need to move raw material from origin to destination without being at either of the locations. Our digital air freight solution allows them to make such bookings seamlessly.”
