Freight Delay Protection.
Easily. Right Away.
Time-critical, NFO, Expedited and Air freight shipments are incredibly complex and challenging. Delays happen, disrupting best-laid plans. Actively manage your business interruption risks from delayed cargo with Otonomi.
Bridging the gap on cargo delays.
Unforeseen circumstances can happen outside of your control and wreak havoc on cargo schedules. Insurance policies have historically excluded delays, making impossible to get claims paid. Cargo delay insurance bridges that gap, empowering logistics to mitigate supply chain risks, providing peace of mind to shippers.
Severe Weather
In U.S. airspace alone, weather can account for up to half of air cargo delays. Unexpected turbulence also reportedly costs U.S. carriers around $100 million per year.
Airport Shutdown and Freight Terminal Closures
Unforeseen circumstances like airport closures due to security threats, severe climate conditions, or unexpected events can wreak havoc on cargo schedules.
Natural Disasters (Earthquakes, Volcanic Eruptions, Wildfires…)
Mother Nature can be unpredictable - catastrophic events can have disastrous impacts on the aviation market. In the U.S. only, estimated aviation losses attributed to NatCat events exceeded $110 million in 2021.
FAA Regulatory And Airline Crew Restrictions
Sudden changes in regulations or crew restrictions unexpectedly impact cargo schedules and cause disruptions. Logistics at the airport can be disrupted and result in financial losses.
Aircraft Equipment Breakdown
Urgent aircraft breakdown repairs are incredibly frequent. Total costs to the industry exceed $68 billion annually which massively add expenses to freight operations bottomline.
Carrier Disruption And Bankruptcy
Since the onset of the global pandemic, nearly 70 airlines and 200 airports have gone belly up. Cargo operations get inevitably disrupted causing financial strains to customers and 3PLs.
Aircraft Fuel Shortages
A sudden fuel shortage can ground planes and interrupt supply chain operations. Fuel costs added a staggering $20 billion to the airlines operating expenses since 2019.
