We coordinate general cargo arriving at MLE by air for onward connection to another international destination. Cargo comes in from China, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Vietnam, Cambodia and India, moves through transit handling at Velana International Airport, and departs on the confirmed onward service.
The work is not the flight. It is everything either side of it: confirming onward capacity before the cargo leaves origin, verifying the cargo information against the documents, meeting the connecting airline acceptance and security requirements, and confirming departure back to the forwarder who trusted us with the connection.
What is included
Pre-arrival planning
Routing, pieces, weight, dimensions, commodity and documentation reviewed before the inbound flight departs origin.
Space & connection confirmation
Onward capacity and connection options reviewed and confirmed so cargo is not landed against a connection that does not exist.
Airline & ground handling coordination
A single desk working with the inbound carrier, the ground handler and the connecting airline through the whole transit.
Transit documentation
Transit and airline documentation requirements checked against the connecting carrier rules before acceptance.
ULD & cargo preparation
ULD coordination and build-up prepared to the connecting airline requirements rather than to a generic standard.
Connection monitoring & departure confirmation
Cargo status tracked through the connection, with departure confirmed and exceptions raised the moment they appear.
