IAG Cargo is expanding its Cargo Connector service to Houston and Seattle at the end of a successful three-week trial at each of their airports, according to Shipping Gazette.
For consignments of less than 300 kilogrammes, freight forwarders in both cities can request the company collect the cargo and courier it directs from their premises to the airport, at no additional cost, with freight screening arranged as required, a company statement said.
"The service benefits freight forwarders by allowing them to book cargo at short notice, as well as removing the need for them to pay for their own driver and truck, which can prove costly during busy periods," it said.
"Our launch cities, Chicago, New York and Los Angeles are now experiencing high levels of demand for the service and word is spreading fast. Indeed, so high is demand, we will launch after three weeks of trial," said its regional manager Joe LeBeau.
