The MoU was signed by Jamal Majid Bin Thaniah, group chief executive Dubai World and chairman Dubai Trade and Ram Menen, Emirates’ divisional senior vice president cargo, at a brief ceremony in Jebel Ali.
The MoU calls for the integration of Emirates SkyCargo’s freight booking services with the single-window online payment solutions offered by Dubai Trade on its website to enable its customers to get direct access to air cargo facilities. Initially, customers will pay for the services either in person or through IATA credit accounts.
Jamal Majid Bin Thaniah said: “This MoU is a well-targeted initiative that will serve as a stepping stone towards the full-scale integration of sea-air cargo movement and, consequently, to further strengthen the competitive advantage of Dubai as the region’s leading trading hub. The supply chain industry as a whole will benefit immensely from this strategic move."
The MoU also opens the doors to future integration of the customer database of Emirates SkyCargo with Dubai Trade’s user database to enable a more seamless supply chain system.
