MICCO reappointed o provide Road Feeder Services
Etihad Cargo has re-appointed MICCO, a freight management and integrated supply chain solutions provider, as its road feeder services (RFS) provider in a multi-year agreement, reaffirming a decade-long partnership between the two major Abu Dhabi-based logistics players.
The RFS network connects major air and sea gateways in the Emirates of Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Sharjah, as well as key GCC countries including Oman, Kuwait and Bahrain. Under the renewed partnership, MICCO will continue to provide Etihad Cargo with customs-sealed and bonded container vehicles, as well as refrigerated and non-refrigerated reefer trucks to support Etihad’s FreshForward perishable products through door services across the UAE.
“It is a pleasure to once more extend this partnership with MICCO whose excellent service quality and operational flexibility perfectly complements our air cargo offering from our hub in Abu Dhabi,” remarked Andre Blech, Head of Operations & Service Delivery, Etihad Cargo.
MICCO is focused on freight management, travel services, and specialised supply chain activities, particularly within fast moving consumer goods (FMCG). Under the new agreement with Etihad, its vehicles will be branded with Etihad Cargo’s new ‘Choose Well’ proposition.
“MICCO is proud to partner with the cargo and logistics arm of the national airline of the UAE. Our RFS partnership will play an important role in connecting major air and sea gateways across the GCC,” commented Captain A. M. Simreen, CEO, MICCO.
The agreement is also another step in Etihad’s evolving value proposition to continue its growth in its home market, and through its major investments in digital infrastructure can offer customers a differentiated value offering only matched by a few select carriers globally.
Following the new digital technology platform launched in October 2018, these RFS services are now available for customers to book directly online through the Etihad Cargo web booking portal, according to Blech.
