Nov 13, 2013 (newstodate): While most major airlines are still trailing behind at a slow pace in implementation of IATA's e-freight concept, one Gulf carrier is advancing fast.
Dubai-based flydubai is vehement in its efforts to establish e-freight as an integral part of its cargo services, now seeing the e-freight percentage above 90 percent.
By contrast, the current global rate of e-freight penetration is only around 29.5 percent.
One of the first low-cost operators in the world to focus on air cargo, flydubai launched its dedicated cargo company flydubai Cargo from January 1, 2012, now offering cargo services alongside the low-cost passenger sales.
flydubai operates a narrow-body fleet comprising 33 Boeing 737-800 aircraft serving routes from Dubai to 67 destinations in Asia, Europe and Africa.
