The CDM, which was developed by CargoHub, has as its objective the provision of transparency and predictability in the transport chain for air cargo industry stakeholders.
Increasing the service level for transit cargo is the main reason for Malaysia Airlines starting to work with the Trucking CDM platform.
“Improving the connection between incoming cargo and the arrival time of the truck is one of the aspects of that service”, commented Keesjan de Vries, Cargo Manager Europe of Malaysia Airlines. “All parties involved should benefit from the CDM platform: there will be a reduction of waiting hours and less congestion on the roads around handlers’ warehouses in order to promise our customer that his cargo will arrive on time. It’s all about exchanging data, which is enabled through the CDM platform. We are now starting at Schiphol Amsterdam but our aim is to participate at Brussels airport as well.”
