JAS Spain announced the opening of its newest branch in Bilbao.  

JAS’ new office in Bilbao is strategically placed due to its geographic location near the Port of Bilbao, which is among the top five busiest ports in Spain and has an annual container volume of close to 1 million TEUs. The port is well connected by both road and rail, with long-distance trains providing railway connections to its dry dock network, including Guadalajara, Madrid, and Burgos.  

The Bilbao office is fully operational, offering full container and consolidation loads, ship and aircraft chartering, and other logistic services such as project logistics, cargo insurance, and supply chain optimization. The office is also ISO 9002 and 14,001 certified, IATA agent certified, and Authorized Economic Operator (AEO) certified, among others.  

JAS Bilbao has the people and tools needed to provide logistics and supply chain support across various verticals and provide tailor-made solutions for all shipping needs from booking through delivery. As customer demands continue to evolve in this increasingly complex shipping environment, our team is ready to meet these ever-changing needs. JAS looks forward to utilizing the advantages this new branch offers the entire company network and, most importantly, to the JAS client base as we continue to show why at JAS, our people make the difference.

JAS is proud to be part of Lufthansa Cargo’s expanded network to Italy through its partnership with ITA Airways—and to be on board one of the inaugural flights from Brazil to Italy on June 16.

As part of our ongoing commitment to a more sustainable future, we booked the “Sustainable Choice” Add-on Service and purchased an additional 10,000 liters of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) to help reduce CO₂ emissions from the very start.

Together with Lufthansa Cargo, we're helping to shape the future of greener supply chains.
