airBaltic Cargo, the Latvian national airline’s freight division, has partnered with cargo.one to enhance its digital sales capabilities and connect with more freight forwarders worldwide. Starting in Winter 2024, airBaltic Cargo’s extensive network of over 80 destinations across Europe, the Middle East, North Africa, and the Caucasus will be accessible through cargo.one’s industry-leading booking platform. Freight forwarders in 134 countries will be able to book general cargo, perishables, and temperature sensitive pharma shipments, across the entire airBaltic Cargo network. With cargo.one’s innovative technology, airBaltic Cargo can look forward to an enhanced market presence, lower sales costs, and offering faster, more accurate digital solutions to more customers.
This collaboration supports airBaltic Cargo’s ambitious growth strategy, which includes expanding its modern fleet of 49 Airbus A220-300 aircraft to 100 by 2030 and completing The Baltic Cargo Hub, the region’s largest air cargo facility, at Riga Airport. With its hub in Riga and additional bases in Tallinn, Vilnius, Tampere, and Gran Canaria, airBaltic Cargo offers flexible belly capacity, including access to shorter runway destinations less frequently served by other airlines.
Iļja Seļiverstovs, VP Cargo at airBaltic, said: “Digital sales is a vital driver of our cargo growth plans. It makes every sense to leverage cargo.one to expand our market reach and sales, and ensure airBaltic Cargo services remain front of mind with thousands of forwarders using the platform daily. Working alongside cargo.one, we will ensure that every customer receives the best possible end-to-end experience.”
Moritz Claussen, Founder & Co-CEO of cargo.one, stated: “We are thrilled to enable airBaltic Cargo to take its digital sales strategy to the next level, and our collaboration will capitalize upon its strengths in relevant markets. Forwarders rely upon cargo.one’s comprehensive global market view to discover, quote and book their air shipments, and the addition of airBaltic Cargo capacities will provide a strong option for many.”
