SriLankan Cargo will later this year place its capacity on digital air cargo booking platform cargo.one, enabling freight forwarders to access a global network of 37 destinations in 21 countries.
SriLankan Cargo is the first South Asian carrier that cargo.one has added to its platform.
From Summer 2024, freight forwarders using cargo.one can book SriLankan Cargo capacity, for both general cargo and perishables, across its entire global network including destinations such as London, Frankfurt, Paris, Chennai, Delhi, Singapore, Shanghai, Canton, Tokyo, Melbourne, and Sydney.
Chaminda Perera, head of cargo at SriLankan Cargo, commented: “Our digital sales progression is now a key driver of our growth, and cargo.one is a logical expert to expedite our transition. We can have total confidence that every SriLankan Cargo customer will enjoy a top-class digital experience. It is excellent to see that our teams are already kick-starting smart initiatives to maximize our market opportunities.”
Moritz Claussen, founder and co-chief executive of cargo.one, added: “We are proud to play an important role in fueling the exciting growth of SriLankan Cargo, our first South Asian carrier. By entering the digital market strongly with a world class, customer centric sales channel, SriLankan Cargo is best placed to leverage its valuable strengths and deliver for many more forwarders globally.”
The airline's global network covers Europe, the Middle East, South Asia, Southeast Asia, the Far East and Australia.
The airline leverages its direct flights to key hubs in Europe, as well as particularly strong capacity options to India and the Gulf region. With its road and partner networks, SriLankan Cargo further expands its reach to serve over 200 destinations worldwide.
Last month, Chinese air logistics group HNA Cargo partnered with cargo.one to offer freight forwarders in 107 markets access to its air cargo capacity.
