The digital platform Flete.com expects to manage 13,000 shipments in Mexico during 2026, after having exceeded 2,500 operations in its first year of operation in the country.

As part of its growth strategy, the company announced a $20 million investment aimed at technological development, talent strengthening, and the implementation of data tools.

“We had a very successful first year in Mexico. We started using WhatsApp as our main channel and are evolving our marketplace according to a strategic plan, adding features based on our experience in Brazil. The goal is for Mexican brokers to have a strategic partner to find suitable carriers to move their clients’ cargo,” commented Marco Reyes, country manager of Flete.com in Mexico.

The company began operations in Mexico in 2025 as a subsidiary of Frete.com , considered the largest logistics unicorn in Latin America, where it connects nearly one million carriers and manages more than 20 million shipments annually.

In the Mexican market, the goal also includes tripling its corporate customer base —mainly logistics brokers— to exceed 150, as well as increasing its network of registered carriers from 1,000 to 2,500.

Recent changes include filters by origin, destination, and unit type , which, according to the company, quadrupled the number of active users compared to the initial version based solely on bots .

The announced investment will be directed towards areas such as data engineering and artificial intelligence, with the aim of improving load allocation, reducing empty trips and strengthening safety mechanisms to decrease road incidents.

Flete.com is backed by international funds such as SoftBank , Tencent , Goldman Sachs and IDB Invest , among other investors.

The announcement comes at a time when the trucking sector in Mexico faces challenges of operational efficiency, low digitalization, and high costs resulting from idle time and empty trips, which has opened up space for technological platforms seeking to act as intermediaries between carriers and cargo generators.

El cargo Flete.com accelerates its expansion in Mexico with a technological strategy apareció primero en T21.

Aeromexico Cargo reported that in recent years it has registered an average annual growth of close to 35% in the handling of e-commerce (electronic commerce).

Therefore, with the arrival of the Christmas season and the increase in purchases on digital platforms, it is preparing to serve one of the seasons with the highest demand, through a specific plan that seeks to maximize operational availability, and optimize its human capital, resources and infrastructure.

“This trend reflects Mexico’s growing participation in cross-border e-commerce, driven by global platforms and increased domestic demand,” he said in a statement.

To meet both commercial and operational requirements related to the demands of e-commerce and the sector in general, the company has a wide network of countries and solutions that cover diverse needs.

He said that Aeromexico’s fleet of 165 aircraft, which make up the belly cargo capacity (goods transported in the hold of passenger planes) , operates nearly 450 daily flights across 18 countries, with a presence in the main markets of Europe, Asia, North America, the Caribbean, Central and South America.

In Mexico, this subsidiary operates 35 domestic stations, guaranteeing the distribution of goods throughout the country.

“Aeroméxico Cargo’s main differentiator lies in its processes for accepting, handling, and delivering goods. Specifically for e-commerce, the main competitive advantage over other modes of transport is time, as air shipments are completed in 6 to 8 hours, including airport transfer and processing. This translates into effective solutions for operations with fast delivery promises,” he explained.

Furthermore, strict control schemes are applied to sensitive or high-value goods. It also invests in infrastructure to streamline its cargo operations, while through the integration, automation and digitization of facilities, as well as real-time tracking systems and end-to-end visibility, it aligns itself with the International Air Transport Association’s (IATA) vision for smart and sustainable cargo centers.

Aeromexico Cargo highlighted that through its alliance with Amazon , whose main objective is to enhance the national air network as a key enabler in the promise of fast delivery, and since the start of operations in November 2021 , they have shown constant evolution, going from an initial limited scheme to a national air operation.

Currently, this collaboration makes a significant contribution to logistical connectivity in different parts of the country, strengthening the speed and reliability of the service.

“Air transport represents a strategic component within Amazon’s logistics network, particularly for high-priority routes and time-sensitive shipments, allowing for greater flexibility and operational resilience. It is in this context that Aeroméxico Cargo becomes a fundamental ally in guaranteeing Amazon’s delivery promise thanks to its punctuality, infrastructure, and service,” he stated.

With the arrival of the Christmas season, Aeromexico Cargo is implementing actions that include preventive maintenance tasks, pre-allocation of space on key routes , temporary reinforcement of personnel and increased inventory of supplies.

The growing demand for e-commerce has been one of the main drivers of growth. During 2025, the airline recorded a 20% increase in e-commerce shipment volume compared to 2024, and a further 10% increase is expected by 2026.

The airline will continue to invest in digital technologies, infrastructure modernization, and key processes to improve the customer experience, as well as to strengthen traceability and security, consolidating its position as the preferred logistics partner for the e-commerce ecosystem in Mexico.

In addition, it is promoting the opening of new routes for the transfer of imported packages with final destination in Mexico City, as well as increasing volumes on current routes through projects focused on first flights and “same day” delivery schemes.
