JAS USA Supports Partnership Covering LATAM

9/28/2017

 
Picture
An official commitment has been made for several years now with JAS Peru, JAS Chile, JAS Panama and INTERMAX in order to promote Southbound traffic.  As of May 2017, Argentina, Colombia and Uruguay have been added to this commitment, expanding our presence in LATAM, and helping our overseas colleagues grow their internal market with competitive rates, value added services and strong commercial efforts at both ends.  LATAM countries have dedicated sales people and market experts, supported by top management to grow this traffic.

Chile and Peru are now placed among market leaders and we expect Argentina and Colombia to become top players in this important market.

Argentina has started an aggressive AIR campaign, distributed among top accounts, providing competitive rates, space and top of the line customer service to these accounts.  Colombia will replicate this excellent initiative in order to take advantage of the potential this market has.

Uruguay will continue to secure top accounts which will allow us to grow.

Panama has recently secured a distribution center for Central America business.

We invite our USA Colleagues to sell LATAM traffic with confidence.  We are here to support your needs with industry knowledge for each of our lanes.  It is a great opportunity to grow your business with confidence and full support!

Shipping to South America Made Simpler

9/28/2017

 
Picture
Recently, JAS Canada put in place a dedicated transportation service from Toronto and Montreal to Miami, to interline with the many air freight consolidations already in place and being managed by JAS Miami. 
 
This simple, yet powerful solution lets our clients enjoy a more cost effective way to ship their North American orders to arrive together.
 
The advantage to this solution is that most of the product moves via freighter or dedicated capacity to its destination makes the routing more flexible and ultimately faster. 
 
Current destinations served are from Montreal and Toronto to Juan Santamaria CR, Curitiba BR, Sao Paulo BR, Viracopos BR, Ezeiza Ar, Bogota Co, Lima Pe, Mexico City MX, Montevideo UY, Panama City PA, Santiago CL.
 
Please contact any of our Latin American or Canadian offices for more details.

JAS Brazil Handles Charter to NORTH Carolina - USA

9/27/2017

 
In the summer of this year, JAS Brazil handled two aircraft charter operations, in the airport of Guarulhos, with the below displayed  aircraft:
Picture
Mcdonnell Douglas MD-11 Freighters - Capacity of 80 tons
Picture
Boeing B-747-200F - Capacity 105 tons
Bound for Charlotte - North Carolina - United States, both aircrafts carried more than 178 tons of cargo for a large automotive customer.

At the forefront of airfreight and considering Guarulhos Airport is mostly for transient aircraft operations, JAS innovated by offering "Tailor-Made" logistics to the need of one of our major customers. Enabling the fast flow from Guarulhos to South Carolina in the USA, which allowed the best use of available aircraft capacity, which came out with almost 100% of use.

This operation was carried out in partnership with GRU Airport, which during the operation offered JAS all the necessary support throughout the process, quickly enabling the unloading and subsequent delivery of freight to the operator of the Charter.

From the unloading to the palleting, JAS had all the cargo ready for loading in a short time, counting on the GRU Airport know-how.

JAS Expands to Rickenbacker International Airport (LCK)

5/10/2017

 
Picture
While other freight forwarders have recently been focusing on consolidating operations and reducing footprint, JAS has been very aggressive in developing new markets both in the USA and Worldwide while expanding their footprint. As a company, JAS still believes in developing any new markets requiring resources in the specific region dedicated to understanding the needs of our customers and community members within each region.

As it relates to the investment at Rickenbacker, JAS was presented a golden opportunity to move into a new state of the art 90,000 sq foot facility & CFS located adjacent to the runway at LCK airport. The move made sense based upon existing strategic partnerships in the Columbus region coupled with development of consistent airfreight services to and from LCK with best of class carriers such as Cargolux, Cathay Pacific & Emirates.

JAS Forwarding (LCK), Inc.
2893 George Paige Jr Road-Suite 242 
Columbus, OH 43217


​Since JAS has moved to Rickenbacker in January, 2017, the company has engaged the local Columbus business community and has gotten involved in many of the local associations within the area.  The reception has been positive and resources available in the region, specifically in the logistics community, have been a pleasant surprise. 

In addition to growing JAS' presence locally in the region, the company is also promoting the product offerings available from LCK that separate JAS from the competition throughout the Ohio Valley corridor in areas such as MI, IN, KY, as well as western PA & NY.  LCK has allowed JAS to reduce airport dwell times from anywhere between six to 48 hours vs the standard gateway hubs.  JAS is also engaging its current portfolio of core carriers by possibly adding flights to the region as the customer reception from the use of LCK has been very positive. As the world continues to be connected globally and e-commerce changes the way consumers buy, the air cargo industry is also evolving and JAS sees the need to be faster to market in all industry sectors in order to compete.  JAS believes LCK will help provide the speed needed in specific verticals such as retail, hi-tech & automotive, which are prevalent in the Ohio valley.  The company believes this strategic move to Rickenbacker will continue to position JAS as a leader in the market driven to innovation that will ultimately benefit JAS' clients.

JAS Uruguay Gains Airport Presence

1/24/2017

 
Picture
From Pablo Melo Managing Director of JAS Uruguay:
​"We are very pleased to announce this investment, which is necessary to keep growing and contribute [to] the air product development in our company. The strong growth we obtained in recent years explains the decision to have [a] presence at the Airport. This is a competitive advantage, improving the quality of the service we offer to our customers and confirm JAS as an important player in our local market.

Uruguay and, in particular,  Carrasco airport have great potential for the future. Because it not only operates as a reception center for local exports and imports; but also the Uruguayan legislation gives it the “Free Airport” agreement [which is] a very important benefit. This is a good platform for foreign companies looking [to establish] a regional distribution center for Latin American markets.

The Free Airport regime has been incorporated relatively recently compared to the existing free zone and free port regimes. Therefore, many companies are expected to join this platform, mainly those in vertical markets requiring large parts of their cargo by air. (i.e.Pharma).

Uruguay is a Regional HUB. Through the different logistics platforms that Uruguayan law permits (Free Zones, Free Port and Free Airport), many multinational companies are already operating in our country as a distribution center for the region. In this sense, more than 40% of the total air cargo exports come from these special customs zones and the percentage is increasing year by year. Uruguay will be closing the year 2016 with a total of 13.5 million kilos of export moved by air.

The airport's cargo terminal has just presented [itself as] a very important investment in infrastructure. Within the airport there is a facility designed in compliance with good distribution practices (GDP) established by WHO (World Health Organization), prepared to meet the high requirements of handling and storage of the pharmaceutical industry. The main purpose is to attract new foreign companies in this sector.

Our presence at the airport, together with the successful implementation of our global cargo system (Cargowise), provide optimum conditions to offer this type of integral logistics solutions to our global corporate clients.  We have no doubt this is a very important step in our 15 years of history as [a] JAS WW subsidiary. At the strategic level, we aim to be aligned with the perspectives and challenges that Uruguay as a logistics country has in the upcoming years.  [The] JAS Uruguay team is ready!"
