Chinese air logistics group, HNA Cargo, which operates on behalf of Hainan Aviation Group, including China’s fourth largest airline, Hainan Airlines, has now chosen cargo.one as its first digital marketplace. In a couple of months from now, international forwarders using cargo.one will be able to search and book real-time cargo capacities offered by HNA Cargo on 2000 international and domestic routes to, from and within China. For HNA Cargo, this decision gives it access to freight forwarders across 107 markets and, at the same time, places it as “the air logistics group partner that offers the largest number of portfolio airlines on cargo.one,” according to cargo.one’s press release: “a combined fleet of 600 aircraft spanning 11 airlines including Hainan Airlines, Capital Airlines, Tianjin Airlines and Suparna Airlines.” The digital platform has already seen 400% growth over the past 18 months.
