The German cargo carrier has made an agreement with cargo.one for making booking online for its td.flash (express service) & td.pro (general service) in order to offer spot market capacity & provide digital facility to forwarders.
Lufthansa Cargo chairman Peter Gerber said: "Digitisation allows information to be distributed around the globe in fractions of a second.
"This has given rise to new expectations with which both carriers and freight forwarders are confronted. We are therefore now offering our customers the opportunity to exchange prices and capacities even faster and to book services even easier.
"Booking platforms such as cargo.one will in future support forwarders in meeting their customers' needs even better. This is the next logical step in the digitisation of our industry."
Cargo.one founder Oliver Neumann said: "Many solutions on the market promise digital bookability. The reality is that in most cases the rates offered do not give access to capacity.
"In particular at times of high demand, our solution offers airfreight forwarders a quick and easy access to capacities with immediate confirmation at live spot rates."
