In 2019, no one could have predicted the challenges that 2020 would bring to the world. It was a difficult year for many, if not all of us. Despite the hardships of 2020, Airspace was able to deliver some good to the world - through resilience, creativity, and teamwork.
The holidays are historically the busiest season for e-commerce retailers. Add on a pandemic-fueled increase of online orders, and shipping delays are inevitable. But how can you ensure a valuable shipment, such as an organ for transplant, won’t be delayed?
Airspace is excited to announce the opening of our first European office with the launch of Airspace B.V. From the headquarters, located at Schiphol-Rijk, the Netherlands, Airspace is expanding its team across the Netherlands, France, Germany, and the U.K. to support our ever-growing international customer network.
Your shipments are time-sensitive and valuable. But all too frequently, flights are canceled or delayed. It’s just the unfortunate nature of the business. Additionally, airlines only operate a certain number of flights a day, meaning there are times when flights aren’t immediately available. Pair that with having to ship a parcel to a rural area and you could be looking at upwards of 12 hours in travel time. These instances would be fine if you were shipping socks, but what happens when the parcel is time-critical, such as an organ needed for a life-saving transplant?
We are excited to be working with Alaska Air Cargo to support our time-critical shipments. As one of the most popular U.S. West Coast air carriers, their service and responsiveness are unattainable at other large companies. Since 2016 — when the initial partnership between Alaska and Airspace began — we have completed 3,000 shipments and counting.
It takes a whole ecosystem to keep Airspace up and running - from the airlines to the Airspace Commanders to our partners - we are so thankful for you all! Even through a pandemic, we have still been able to accomplish so much and reach astounding goals. This Thanksgiving, Airspace has so much to be thankful for - and it is all due to everyone's incredible support.
