roles” was the theme at the 2019
JFK Air Cargo Expo. Head of Digital &
Distribution at Virgin Atlantic Cargo,
Suzy Wardle was the keynote speaker
and talked about the ”E” change in air
cargo business.
“We are going back to the beginning,
redesigning everything, “she said of Virgin
Cargo. “We are reimagining how we
were in technology and infrastructure
and now we are making digital changes
out of necessity from what customers and
partners are asking us to do. “ She added.
Wardle said that they are making
changes to “E” business through both
brick & mortar and digital. Said Wardle,
“ We are moving into larger facilities in
Heathrow, doubling our footprint, Delta
is coming in and that will help forwarders,
automation, and trucking as we roll
this out to our network.”
She said, “A lot is changing from the
way we have been using EDI messaging
before the internet, now we want to move
to API’s which are more internet friendly
and a lot easier t work with.”
