A.P. Moller – 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, modeled 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 U.S. routes.

Fully staffed by in-house Maersk Air Freight forwarding professionals, the 90,000 square foot facility (8,000 square meters) is expected to have significant southward flows and offers key certifications, including:

• U.S. Customs bonded Container Freight Station (CFS)
• Certified Cargo Screening Facility (CCSF)

Brent Mayhew highlighted the benefits of the new services for customers moving time-sensitive, high-value cargo, stating:

Fabio Acerbi sees the new facility adding a layer of cost-effective predictability for Maersk’s Asian customers looking to serve Latin American supply chain needs, adding:

Maersk’s air freight cargo coverage extends to 70,000 airport pairings across more than 90 countries around the world. Maersk Air Freight solutions can be booked on Maersk.com with instant pricing and an option to combine them with value-added services.
