SAS Cargo, Scandinavian Airlines’ air freight division, has partnered with cargo.one, to enhance its global sales reach. From APR25, freight forwarders using cargo.one and based in EMEA, North America or Asia, will be able to scan real-time rates and capacity, and book general and temperature-controlled shipments up to 10,000 kg on SAS Cargo’s flights. In addition to booking, the collaboration enables the tracking of shipments to over 135 destinations across 31 countries, including major hubs such as Frankfurt, London, New York, Tokyo, and Seoul. More markets will follow soon.
SAS Cargo operates a strong network out of its hubs in Copenhagen, Oslo, and Stockholm, making use of SAS’ belly capacities and deploying a modern wide-body Airbus fleet to provide efficient and sustainable cargo solutions. It carries around 60,000 tons of cargo every year. SAS Cargo is no stranger to digitalization having launched its own direct booking portal in 2015. To date, more than 80% of bookings on SAS Cargo are done online. Now, with its additional move onto cargo.one, that is set to increase even further, since the digital platform has a user base of some 25,000 forwarders across the globe.
Markus Ek, CEO of SAS Cargo, commented: “Partnering with cargo.one will deliver added convenience to customers in many markets worldwide. Freight forwarders will enjoy a seamless booking experience and an even stronger ability to utilize SAS Cargo capacity as a winning element of their daily work.” Moritz Claussen, Founder & Co-CEO of cargo.one, stated: “SAS Cargo stands out as having a strong alignment with cargo.one’s vision and ambition for digital procurement. It makes every sense for SAS Cargo to broaden its access to forwarding teams globally with the platform that is relied upon the most for daily quoting and booking. Our combined teams will apply cargo.one technology and sales best practices to ensure SAS Cargo remains fully responsive in the market.”
