PAL relaunches cargo business amid 'digital-era' logistics
Philippine Airlines (PAL) on Tuesday announced it has rebranded its freight and logistics business division into PAL Cargo, reflecting the flag carrier's efforts towards digital transformation. "In today's digital-first economy, our revitalized business reflects PAL Cargo's support for digital innovation, broader reach, and tailored logistics solutions that help local entrepreneurs grow and compete in both local and global markets," said Jason Siy, PAL vice president for cargo. The airline said PAL Cargo offers a broad range of freight services tailored to individual, freight forwarders, and corporate and big business needs. It transports a varied type of cargo from high-value commodities, pharmaceuticals, e-commerce, and perishables, among many others. The flag carrier said its cargo unit also follows strict handling practices, including International Air Transport Association (IATA) standards in pet transport, as well as security escorts for high-value cargo. These items are the last to be loaded and the first to be offloaded upon arrival. It also assigns security teams for charter flights. With partners like Airspeed and the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI), PAL Cargo is also making the shipping of small business products in the Philippines and to overseas markets easier. A formal partnership with the DTI will be inked within the next months, it said. "Through partnerships and our expanding cargo network, we aim to support both domestic entrepreneurs and the Philippine export industry. Even in areas we don't currently fly to, our global partnerships allow us to extend our services and connect their businesses to the world," Siy said. The airline said PAL Cargo is developing a mobile-friendly platform to expand online services to international cargo. It is also set to launch its Port-to-Door delivery service, expanding its current airport-to-airport transport services. Further, the airline is planning to integrate PAL's Mabuhay Miles, allowing PAL Cargo customers to earn miles for their cargo transactions. PAL's primary cargo terminal is based at Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) in Manila, supported by major cargo hubs in Clark, Cebu, and Davao. "This extensive network allows PAL Cargo to provide efficient, end-to-end logistics solutions for customers across the archipelago and beyond," Siy said. — VDV, GMA Integrated News
