KUALA LUMPUR: AirAsia Group Bhd’s cargo and logistics arm, RedCargo Logistics Sdn Bhd, has entered into its first direct partnership with freight forwarder Tasco Bhd effective Jan 1.
Under the partnership, Tasco, a subsidiary of Japan-based shipping and logistics company Nippon Yusen Kabushiki Kaisha (NYK), would be able to take advantage of the ease and simplicity of booking space anywhere on the AirAsia extensive network, the two companies said in a joint statement today.
AirAsia’s network spans over 320 routes to more than 130 airports across 25 markets in Asia, Australia, the Middle East and the United States.
Tasco managing director Freddie Lim said the company was confident that it would be able to provide a higher level of service and competency to its clients through the tie-up.
RedCargo, incorporated in March last year, is the exclusive provider of cargo capacity for AirAsia and AirAsia X.
