SAS Cargo Joins Cargo.One to Boost Digital Procurement

SAS Cargo turns to cargo.one to bring its capacities into digital forwarding workflows in thousands of forwarding operations around the world.

SAS Cargo, the air freight division of Scandinavian Airlines (SAS), has partnered with cargo.one globally. This collaboration brings its capacity to the leading platform for digital air freight procurement and sales.

Thousands more freight forwarders will soon gain enhanced digital access to SAS Cargo capacity. The collaboration aligns the company with a fast-growing and popular quoting and booking method. It will also support the airline in competing in every relevant market.

Leveraging the belly capacity of the SAS network, the cargo division of Scandinavian Airlines plays a crucial role in air cargo transportation. It is a key provider of air cargo services in Northern Europe. It connects Scandinavia to important global trade lanes.

The Denmark-based company utilizes its global hub in Copenhagen (CPH), and hubs in Oslo (OSL) and Stockholm (ARN). It also uses modern Airbus wide-body aircraft to ensure speed, flexibility, and more sustainable capacity solutions. The airline offers freight forwarders 135 destinations in 31 countries, and transports over 60,000 tons of goods annually.

The airfreight division of Scandinavian Airlines and cargo.one share a strong history of air freight digitalization innovation. SAS Cargo launched the first direct booking portal in 2015. In 2017, cargo.one became the first airline-agnostic air cargo booking platform. Today, the Scandinavian Airline’s cargo division sees over 80% of its bookings being made online. Partnering with cargo.one enables the company to expand its sales reach. It also allows the company to harness cargo.one’s direct digital connectivity into both the world’s largest forwarders. Additionally, it connects to thousands of SMBs that base their booking operations upon cargo.one’s live airline connections.
