NIPOST partners with KLM Royal Dutch Airlines to improve international mail delivery services 

This was disclosed by Tola Odeyemi, ...master-General/CEO of NIPOST, on her X account.

Odeyemi noted that the collaboration will significantly enhance the efficiency of international mail delivery by eliminating reliance on third-party handlers.

“I am incredibly delighted to share a major milestone from my work as ...master General of NIPOST: We have officially signed a direct international mail partnership with @KLM Royal Dutch Airlines, a milestone that marks the first of its kind in many years,” she said.

Improved logistics ahead

The partnership with KLM marks the first direct international mail collaboration for NIPOST in years.

Previously, ...al service had to rely on multiple third-party handlers for international deliveries, which often led to delays, increased costs, and logistical uncertainties.

With KLM now handling NIPOST’s outbound international mail, the partnership is expected to offer several advantages to NIPOST clients, including faster, more reliable delivery, reduced risk of lost or damaged parcels, lower handling charges, and access to KLM’s global network spanning over 200 countries.

“For our clients at @NiposNOPn, this translates to: Faster and more reliable delivery, Reduced risk of loss or damage, Lower handling charges, Access to over 200 countries through KLM’s global network,” Odeyemi added. 

A critical factor behind this new partnership is NIPOST’s efforts to clear longstanding debts owed to international carriers.

...master-General emphasized that rebuilding global trust is a priority for NIPOST, and this collaboration with KLM is just the beginning.
