Ingrid Raj, Global Head of Aviation Commercial at DHL Express, said: “This ‘must-fly’ cargo product brings a passenger airline-level experience to freight. It’s a direct response to customer demand for faster, more flexible options.”
Key features of Xcelerate include high-priority loading, late cargo acceptance close to departure, and priority release upon arrival—ensuring faster recovery of shipments. A dedicated customer service team provides end-to-end oversight and proactive email updates for full visibility throughout the journey.
