Philippine Airlines has announced it will soon debut its cargo capacity in the digital booking market following a new partnership with digital air freight platform, cargo.one.
From Autumn 2024, forwarders using cargo.one will be able to discover, quote and book Philippine Airlines’ capacities for general cargo and perishables, connecting hubs in Manila, Cebu, Clark, and Davao with dozens of important cargo destinations worldwide.
The national carrier airline of the Philippines is expanding its widebody fleet to facilitate an ambitious cargo growth strategy.
Philippine Airlines offers freight forwarders a unique combination of 37 international destinations throughout South and East Asia, North America, Australia and the Middle East, and 32 destinations in the Philippines as well as favourable regional connectivity.
Jason Siy, vice president of cargo at Philippine Airlines, said: “A key pillar of our digital transformation and continued growth is the ability to steer strategic digital sales. Gaining cargo.one’s technology and extensive experience means Philippine Airlines can build digital sales at speed and scale with low capital expenditure.
“Our teams are working closely to build a custom digital sales channel to maximise upon our many strengths.”
Moritz Claussen, founder and co-chief executive of cargo.one, said: “We are excited to launch Philippine Airlines digital sales journey and strengthen its exciting growth plans.
“cargo.one continually brings the freight forwarding market new capacity options first, an important element in how our platform enables even the very largest forwarders to win shipments faster, grow their business and serve their customers better than ever.”
With cargo.one, Philippine Airlines will be equipped to implement compliant data driven decisions about its market fit and sales opportunities. The carrier will also benefit from better attuning its offers to serve international forwarders.
