Virgin Atlantic Cargo customers can now use the WebCargo platform by Freightos to search and compare rates across the cargo carrier’s network and book instantly.
The collaboration combines Virgin Atlantic Cargo’s extensive network with WebCargo’s digital reach, providing more options for forwarders globally.
Phil Wardlaw, Virgin Atlantic Cargo’s managing director, said: “We are delighted to have partnered with WebCargo as we continue to provide intuitive experiences for our customers, so they can move cargo their way.”
With the largest off-site cargo handling operation at the UK’s largest commercial aviation hub in London, Virgin Atlantic Cargo flies to 30 destinations across four continents, including key locations across the United States, India, China, Nigeria, South Africa, and the Caribbean.
Wardlaw added: “As customer requirements and digital experiences evolve it’s important for us to work with a platform that has an optimised digital booking process and provides access to the largest number of forwarders with seamless access to our global network.
“Customers are at the heart of everything we do and we strive to make air cargo easier for everyone, offering more ways to book and access our capacity.”
Manel Galindo, chief revenue officer at Freightos, said: “The addition of Virgin Atlantic Cargo’s capacity to WebCargo means that freight forwarders in over 10,000 offices worldwide gain instant, digital access to Virgin’s vast network, including key destinations, such as New York, Los Angeles, and New Delhi.
“Global reach is crucial in our current era of supply chain disruptions and Red Sea workarounds.
“We are proud to partner with Virgin Atlantic Cargo to expand trade between the people of the world.”
