It’s all under control, says Delta Cargo

[ August 2, 2017   //   Chris ]

Delta Cargo has officially opened its Cargo Control Center (CCC), to support daily cargo worldwide operations. The new Atlanta facility provides comprehensive coverage of all aspects of cargo transportation and management, and can track air shipments, trucks, mail, and freight – domestically and internationally.

president-cargo and senior vice president-airport customer service, Gareth Joyce, explained: “The new Cargo Control Center is the culmination of our significant investment in technology systems and operation reliability, all with the aim of enhancing the customer experience and ensuring that they are at the centre of everything we do. Our Cargo Control Center will now know exactly where freight is at all times, anywhere on the globe. With that information, we will be far more proactive in predicting potential service issues and providing freight solutions to our customers, and that really is a game changer in the logistics industry.”

The Cargo Control Center will be staffed by a cross divisional cargo team from capacity management, warehouse management, trucking, rebooking, unit load devices (ULD) management, service recovery and call center operations. They will identify issues before they take place, as well as provide proactive communication and support in the situation of a delayed or cancelled flight. The CCC will initially be open during business hours Monday to Friday, but will be a 24/7 operation by the end of the year.
