Delta adds OnAsset to cargo

   Delta Air Lines has entered a marketing agreement with OnAsset Intelligence, a provider of wireless asset tracking, that will allow its cargo customers to view location information on deltacargo.com.
   The agreement offers customers the ability to track and trace cargo in transit on a customized Web page. The service will be offered on all cargo shipments across the Delta and Delta Connection fleets. Together these operate more than 5,000 daily flights across 61 countries.
   Neel Shah, Delta’s senior vice president and chief cargo officer said, “Offering GPS customers our complete network and combining active and passive tracking data into a single location will be a considerable advantage for their critical shipment needs.”
   The airline said it’s also working to enable the OnAsset system for passenger cargo like pets, jewelry cases, and sporting equipment. 
   Delta said it is the first air carrier to receive Federal Aviation Administration-approval for the SENTRY 400 FlightSafe device on all mainline and connection flights, though it is the third airline to announce a deal with OnAsset. Recently United Cargo made a similar announcement for the SENTRY system and that was preceded by Southwest Airlines signing a similar deal last summer.
