United States. Maersk expanded its presence in air cargo operations with the activation of a full-service gateway in Miami.
This new air cargo facility will serve as a strategic node in Maersk's global air cargo network.
"Our expansion in Miami is a vital and strategic addition to our global gateway network, providing connectivity from Asia, Europe and the U.S. to Latin America," said John Wetherell, Maersk's global head of air freight.
The new gateway, similar to those already operating in Atlanta, Chicago, and Los Angeles, will focus on the transshipment of European and Asian cargo through Miami to Latin America with competitive connectivity in cargo and passenger aircraft. It will support the North American and Latin American export market, and the Asian market serving the Latin American supply chain through cost-competitive U.S. routes.
The 8,000-square-meter facility is expected to have significant flows into Latin America.
Brent Mayhew, Maersk's Regional Head of Air Freight for North America, said: "In addition to our global gateway network, this addition in Miami provides our customers with significant added value, leveraging structured routing within a gateway environment. This includes connectivity to trucks through our network of stations in North America, ensuring efficient and reliable integrated logistics solutions."
Maersk's air cargo coverage extends to 70,000 airport pairs in more than 90 countries around the world.
