Securing buy rates when needed, as well as ensuring capacity with qualified carriers, partners, or Kuehne+Nagel gateways, is a key part of the role. All activities must be performed in full compliance with air transport regulations, industry and product standards, Kuehne+Nagel guidelines, and within Kuehne+Nagel operational systems.
