Cargo
From Chinese pandas to Dutch masters, KLM Cargo transports all kinds of goods to every imaginable corner of the world.
From vaccines to art and live animals: at Cargo, we transport what keeps the world moving. Join an operation that runs 24/7 and delivers impact every day.
Within Cargo…
Within Cargo, you work at the heart of KLM’s global logistics operation. Every day, teams ensure that millions of kilos of cargo reach their destination. From Schiphol to over 150 destinations worldwide.
You are part of the operation. Shipments of medicines that must arrive on time. Flowers that need to stay fresh during long journeys. Animals that travel safely across continents. Everything depends on precision, speed and collaboration.
You see results immediately. What you handle today often departs the same day. That’s how you help connect people, markets and lives across the world.
What that looks like
At Cargo, you work with technology and processes that keep improving.
With Cargo Volume Scanning, cargo is scanned automatically during unloading. Cameras create a 3D model of each package within seconds. This prevents measurement errors and speeds up the process.
Commercially, things are evolving as well. With Quick Allotment Booking, customers can book their capacity for an entire season in one go. What used to require manual work is now arranged digitally. Today, most customers book online.
In the warehouse, you build pallets, check cargo and make sure everything is ready for departure. In the Animal Hotel, you work with colleagues to care for animals before they travel across the world.
Prefer working with data? Then you analyse processes and improve how we operate. Like Sterre, a product engineer working on Fresh Cargo and Dangerous Goods. Or Angie, combining operational work with her passion for animals.
Room to grow
At Cargo, you keep developing yourself. You follow training, learn from colleagues and collaborate with teams across countries.
You can deepen your expertise in logistics, data or operations. Or broaden your scope into new roles. Many colleagues grow within Cargo or move to divisions such as Engineering & Maintenance or Tech & Data.
You build knowledge that applies across aviation. And you work with people who help each other improve every day.
Your role
As a warehouse employee, you ensure cargo departs safely and on time. You build pallets, work with modern equipment and keep overview in an operation that never stops.
As a logistics specialist or data analyst, you improve processes. You analyse cargo flows and translate insights into better planning and execution.
Whatever your role, your work ensures medicines arrive on time, flowers stay fresh and animals travel safely. With every shipment, you help connect people, markets and lives worldwide.
