The host-to-host connection with DB Schenker’s internal booking engine optimizes the air freight booking process, providing agents with direct access to Emirates SkyCargo’s schedules, Standard and Contract Tariff rates and available capacity, as well as the airline’s vast global network of over 140 destinations across six continents.

Launching first in Germany, Austria and Switzerland, the connection will then launch globally, facilitating trade with key markets including Hong Kong, China, Singapore, India, Germany and the USA.

Initially, the service will enable agents to book general cargo, with the possibility of adding other products from Emirates SkyCargo’s multi-vertical, industry-leading portfolio in the near future.

Earlier, cementing its presence on three of the biggest digital marketplaces for air reight logistics, Emirates SkyCargo is now live on cargo.one. The partnership underscores Emirates SkyCargo’s long standing commitment to implementing digital solutions that streamline operations, drive efficiencies and unlock value for its global customer base. Bolstering its advanced and customer-centric digital distribution strategy, partnering with cargo.one ensures that Emirates SkyCargo offers are present where its customers wish to book.
