GEODIS has signed a new interline agreement with Atlas Air and mas to expand its air freight network across South America, giving shippers more direct options between Asia and key Latin American markets.
The agreement strengthens GEODIS’ air cargo presence in Colombia, Brazil, Panama, Chile, and Costa Rica, with a focus on Brazil, which the company calls a key market in the region.
Under the partnership, GEODIS will be able to offer stronger air connections from the Asia-Pacific region, including Hong Kong, via Mexico, adding freighter capacity and improving reliability for customers moving freight into Central and South America.
The interline setup allows cargo to transfer smoothly between flights operated by all three companies, helping speed up delivery times and reduce disruptions across long-haul trade lanes.

Atlas Air said the deal strengthens air freight connectivity between Asia and South America at a time when cross-border shipping demand continues to rise.
“We are pleased to join GEODIS and mas in this strategic interline agreement that strengthens air freight connectivity across South America,” said Richard Broekman, Chief Commercial Officer, Atlas Air Worldwide. “As GEODIS expands its network in this growing market, Atlas Air is proud to contribute our expertise and capacity to deliver seamless transfers and reliable service between Asia and South America, supporting the growing needs of cross-border supply chains.”
GEODIS said the agreement marks another step in its long-term investment strategy in South America as it continues to build out its global forwarding network and improve service across key trade lanes.
