Skyport™ CHALLENGE
Eleven regional depots restocked by road, bestsellers out of stock for days — while empty belly space flew overhead on every inbound flight. Road couldn't keep up with promotion spikes, and spot air buys were too erratic to plan around.
SOLUTION
Weekly consol flights on the two heaviest lanes plus a new replenishment rota rolled out across 8 weeks — then an airline tender for the remaining spot volumes. Base demand moved to scheduled consol positions; only true spikes touched spot rates.
TIMELINE
- Weeks 1–2: airwaybill audit and lane file across all depots.
- Weeks 3–6: weekly consol flights live on two pilot lanes.
- Weeks 7–8: replenishment rota rollout; tender for spot volumes.
- Month 6: 40% shorter lead times, on-time rate 91% → 98%.
“Skyhaul moved our critical freight from road to air in six weeks. Transit time and reliability both moved further than we thought possible.”
