In the fast-paced world of logistics, where efficiency and reliability are crucial, many businesses face logistical challenges when sending cargo to Latin America such as customs, documentation, transit times, costs, security, and communication. However, expanding your businesses to other regions shouldn’t be a challenge, the question is how can you expand your business with cost-effective airfreight solutions? In this regard, we explore how Rhenus Logistics pioneered creating new routes Miami to Brazil.
Firstly , Miami is the gateway to LATAM. Above all, the strategic advantage of Miami International Airport (MIA), is being the 1st among the top globally, and securing a position as the 12th largest international airport and the go-to international cargo hub, especially for perishable goods, high-tech products, telecommunications, pharmaceuticals, and industrial machinery. Certainly, this ensures MIA’s crucial role in facilitating trade between the Americas and beyond. Some of its advantages are:
- Additionally, Miami Gateway offers multiple carrier options with next day or same day arrival to most destinations throughout LATAM.
- Rhenus offers additional routing alternatives that are flexible and cost efficient. For example, cargo originating in Asia bound for LATAM can also transit via ORD which offers more competitive air freight pricing and subsequently forwarded overland to MIA to connect to its final destination.
- The in-transit process, or in this case called an IE (Immediate Export) is simple and quick and can have your cargo transferring to the outbound carrier within the same day.
- Instead of sourcing direct service, which most of the time, involves a connection and is more expensive, Miami's numerous direct options to LATAM via air (both PAX and CAO flights), offers customers cost effective and efficient solutions to the end user. Transit times are still kept within expectations.
Miami to Brazil
At Rhenus we provide weekly consolidations to many parts of Latin America. As part of our weekly departures from Miami, we serve different locations in Brazil such as Florianópolis, Curitiba, and São Paulo.
At the center of our Miami Gateway’s success is the strategic alliances we’ve forged with core carriers to get to these destinations. Recently as part of a pioneer route, making us the first company to create this solution, we partner with avianca cargo, adding Vitória as part of our weekly’s consolidations via the Miami Hub, making this phase 1 of the initiative.
These partnerships with core carriers, like avianca cargo, enable us to secure block space agreements, guaranteeing spaces and uplift airfreight services on fixed schedules. Whether you’re shipping time- sensitive cargo or bulk shipments, our partnerships ensure your goods reach their destination.
“Our commitment to these specific routes reflects our dedication to Brazil, one of our largest markets in support of our Miami Gateway, guaranteeing allocated space for Rhenus in avianca cargo’s capacity to further our strengthen and increase the air cargo landscape in the area.
Transporting cargo swiftly and efficiently from Miami to VIX enables us to deliver our services to one of our biggest high-tech clients in the region.”
