Building on the success of its named-day airfreight import consolidation concept, neutral air and seafreight consolidator CFR Freight has added two origins – Frankfurt and Los Angeles - to its service menu.
In conjunction with Saco Air, the company’s global partner in the Air Cargo Group, the Frankfurt option offers twice weekly consols, palletised on a direct Lufthansa freighter at very preferential rates, says airfreight general manager Dave Graham
In conjunction with Air Cargo Partner Shipco in the US, CFR has signed a firm Block Space Agreement (BSA) out of Los Angeles into South Africa.
“We have created a premium named-day consol product with an optimum transit time. Cargo delivered on Friday morning in Los Angeles is available for collection on Monday morning in Johannesburg.”
