French owned forwarding and logistics company Geodis has signed an interline agreement with Atlas Air and mas (Malaysia Airlines) to expand its air freight network across South America. It will strengthen its network in Colombia, Brazil, Panama, Chile and Costa Rica and increase direct connections from the Asian Pacific hubs including Hong Kong via Mexico and expand freighter capacity. The expansion is expected to particularly support growth in Brazil, a key market in South America.
The collaboration allows efficient cargo transfers between flights operated by the three partners, providing customers with smoother, faster and more reliable delivery options.
Geodis executive vice president, global freight forwarding, Henri Le Gouis, commented: “Airfreight demand in and out of Central and South America has grown by more than 30% over the last 12 months. This interline agreement reinforces our commitment to providing customers with a broader, more reliable network and increased capacity.”
