GLOBAL CROSSING AIRLINES LAUNCHES CARGO CHARTER SERVICE BETWEEN CHICAGO AND SAN JUAN VIA AIRBLOX
Global Crossing Airlines Group Inc. (GlobalX) has entered into a new partnership with Airblox, a digital platform for air freight capacity and financing.
Beginning Oct. 10, 2024, GlobalX will operate round-trip cargo charter flights between Chicago (ORD) and San Juan (SJU) three times per week. The service, which will be exclusively available through the Airblox platform, will utilize the state-of-the-art Airbus A321F freighter, offering 25 tons of capacity in each direction on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays.
This partnership provides freight forwarders and businesses with unmatched access to reliable and cost-effective air cargo capacity between Chicago and San Juan. GlobalX's decision to list its A321F freighter capacity on Airblox underscores the companies' shared commitment to innovation and customer satisfaction in the air freight industry.
"We're excited to offer this high-demand route from Chicago to San Juan through the Airblox platform. The A321F freighter delivers 14-per-cent more containerized capacity than the B757-200, along with a 19-per-cent reduction in fuel consumption. This combination allows us to offer industry-leading pricing and operational efficiency," said Ryan Goepel, president and chief financial officer of GlobalX. "The A321F represents the future of air cargo, and this collaboration with Airblox highlights our dedication to providing exceptional value to our customers."
Neel Jones Shah, board member at Airblox, added: "We are thrilled to partner with GlobalX and bring this vital route to our platform. This collaboration enhances our network and offers forwarders greater reliability and efficiency for their cargo needs. We encourage businesses to take advantage of the competitive pricing and flexible options available."
Businesses interested in securing space on the Chicago to San Juan route are encouraged to contact Iyman Mustafa (iyman@airblox.com) for pricing and further details.
This new offering aligns with Airblox's mission to streamline air cargo procurement, delivering better value, flexibility and choice for freight forwarders through its innovative eBSA agreements. The addition of GlobalX's A321F freighter further enhances Airblox's platform, making it an ideal choice for forwarders seeking competitive and efficient air cargo solutions.
