ATLANTA - Delta Cargo and the cargo division of its joint venture partner, Air France/KLM, have co-located cargo warehouse facilities in Seattle, a move that will allow more space for cargo capacity and make shipping easier and more convenient for the airlines’ shared customers.
Delta Cargo’s Seattle warehouse has hosted Virgin Atlantic since March 26, 2017. In the last year, this ‘One-Roof’ partnership has handled over 1.2 million pounds of cargo with a daily 787 flight. This initiative is beneficial not only for the increased cargo tonnage capacity, but also to help deliver a coordinated cargo operation among Delta’s partners and to add employment opportunities at the station.
The airline expects monthly volumes of more than 400,000 pounds of highly-valuable cargo to be flown on Delta and newly launched Air France flights between Seattle and Paris.
