At Virgin A Really Big Change
“Huge, and we are not underestimating or taking anything for granted,” said Dominic Kennedy, Virgin Atlantic’s Managing Director, Cargo.
“Our entire business model is based on giving customers more choice and flexibility, whether this means more routes and frequencies, new products and services, or the ability to interact with us in the way they want to do business,” he said.
“Now Virgin Atlantic Cargo is set to be the first airline to adopt Accenture’s cloud-enabled, end-to-end AFLS 8.0 cargo management platform to spearhead our future digital experience when AFLS 8.0 goes live in early 2020."
Amazon & Air Cargo In Focus
The smile turned upside down as labor unrest complicates the world, according to Amazon.
Bill Boesch has some answers:
“The first thing to remember,” confides air cargo great Bill Boesch, “is that Amazon is not an airline but a unique e-commerce platform controlling its door-to-door operations to provide free next-day or 2-day shipping for its products.
“As a result, in the U.S., Amazon is not covered by the Railway Labor Act nor is it fully unionized.
“Amazon hubs – unlike FedEx and UPS – are fulfillment centers", Bill declared.
