Emirates Lands Uptick For 2017 |
Jeffrey
Van Haeften began his tenure as
Emirates SkyCargo Vice President
Cargo Global Sales having previously
gained vital training in this
ever-widening and specialized
air cargo business at Martinair
Holland, DHL Global Forwarding,
and CEVA Logistics. Up To The Minute “The
air cargo market, Jeffrey Van
Haeften says emphatically, “has
improved significantly in 2017
compared to the challenging situation
in 2016. Forty Destinations In Europe “For
example we have multiple daily
frequencies to over 40 destinations
in Europe and that allows us to
move cargo to and from destinations,
directly eliminating the need
for trucking and additional handling,
but most importantly saving time
for our customers.” Keeping Customers Close “In
order to ensure that our business
remains sustainable we are of
course also working very closely
with our customers, both freight
forwarders as well as shippers,
to ensure maximum value for all
parties involved. SkyPharma “We
launched Emirates SkyPharma to
ensure secure transportation of
temperature sensitive pharmaceuticals.
Emirates SkyCargo additionally
operates the world’s largest
GDP certified multi-airport hub
in Dubai. Market Standouts “As
mentioned, everything is up in
2017, but volumes from Europe
have picked up significantly after
having remained soft for quite
a while.” The Emirates Difference
“Emirates SkyCargo and our
Dubai hub have an extremely high
operational performance record. At Home In Dubai
“Our Dubai location enables
us to access and connect trade
and business to two thirds of
the world’s population within
just 8 hours flying time. Pledges Cooperation
“SkyCargo can tell any customer
that when you approach us, we
will listen to understand your
requirements and work without
fail to develop a solution that
works to our mutual benefit.” Forwarders Are Essential “We consider our freight forwarder partners an essential part of the logistics chain.“Forwarders ensure end to end offerings to customers. “As we work through a closely integrated model with freight forwarders globally, we integrate some of our largest forwarding partners as part of our sales structure. “We believe that as part of a successful partnership, it is important to have a tripartite dialogue with the freight forwarders as well as the shipper.” Benefits Less Than Obvious
“Here,” Jeffrey assures,
“is an underrated SkyCargo
customer benefit that works so
well that it might be taken for
granted. Impressions of Dubai’s Mega Airline
Jeffrey has been an air cargo
stalwart for some time now, despite
his youthful enthusiasm. He came
to the company three years ago
with high expectations. Delivering The Promise
“I think it’s important
for more of the industry to adopt
Cargo iQ standards. More Cooperation
“It is also important for
freight forwarders, air cargo
carriers and shippers to work
in a closer tri-partite relationship
that exists currently.” A Life Well Lived When he departs from Emirates headquarters, he repairs to home in what Jeffrey describes as “ very nice neighborhood in Dubai.”“To relax I love beaches and water sports and Dubai has no shortage of nice beaches. “Of course, in my heart I will always have Amsterdam as my favorite city, even though Dubai is a great place to live and very stable and safe, especially for families. “I quite like sushi and once again in Dubai there is no shortage of restaurants serving eclectic international cuisine.” Why Air Cargo?
“I always find it inspiring
to meet people in the industry
who are very open to new ideas
and concepts and willing to adapt
to new situations even if they
have been in the same industry
for a very long time. |
