Flydubai Cargo has expanded its online presence by placing its capacity on a third-party booking portal for the first time through a partnership with cargo.one.
The new partnership will give cargo.one's freight forwarder users access to the airline's network of more than 150 destinations in 53 countries across Africa, Central Asia, the Caucasus, central and southeast Europe, the GCC and the Middle East, the Indian Subcontinent and Southeast Asia.
They will also have access to the airline's interline routes through its interline agreements and partnerships with other airlines.
The carrier operates a fleet of 88 Boeing 737 aircraft and has this year added new flights to Al Jouf and The Red Sea in Saudi Arabia, Basel in Switzerland, Islamabad and Karachi in Pakistan, Kerman and Kish Island in Iran, Langkawi and Penang in Malaysia as well as Mombasa in Kenya.
It also has an order for 30 Boeing 787 Dreamliners that will "enable significant additional cargo capacity in the coming years".
For flydubai, the partnership will expand its reach to the portal's forwarder user base in 121 countries.
Mohamed Hassan, senior vice president of airport services & cargo at Flydubai, said: “At FlyDubai, we have a long-standing commitment to creating free flows in trade and adopting best-in-class practices in the industry and we are pleased to reaffirm this with the launch of our digitalised sales.
"Our partnership with cargo.one will enable us to grow our cargo market reach and ensure the most efficient and user-friendly booking experience for our customers around the world.”
Moritz Claussen, founder and co-chief executive of cargo.one, added: "Through the partnership, our freight forwarding customers will gain fast and exclusive access to flydubai’s unique cargo offering.”
