A.P. Moller – Maersk (Maersk) expanded its air freight operations footprint with the April activation of a full-service, in-transit gateway solution in Miami. This new air freight facility underscores Maersk’s commitment to providing seamless and competitive connectivity to major Latin American markets. The Miami gateway will serve as a strategic node in Maersk’s global air freight network.
The new gateway, modelled after operations in Atlanta, Chicago and Los Angeles, will focus on transhipping European and Asian cargo via Miami to Latin America with competitive connectivity on freighter and passenger capacity. It will support the North American export market to Latin America and the Asian market that serves the Latin American supply chain via cost competitive US routes.
Fully staffed by in-house Maersk Air Freight forwarding professionals, the 90,000 square foot facility (8,000 square metres) is expected to have significant southward flows and offers key certifications, including:
- US Customs bonded Container Freight Station (CFS)
- Certified Cargo Screening Facility (CCSF)
Maersk’s air freight cargo coverage extends to 70,000 airport pairings across more than 90 countries around the world, said a release.
