Etihad Cargo, the cargo and logistics arm of Etihad Aviation Group, has announced a new partnership for Digital Air Cargo with WebCargo by Freightos, an air cargo rates and eBooking platform.
The WebCargo partnership is to extend Etihad Cargo’s digital reach to more than 1,700 logistics providers and forwarder customers globally, with the platform serving as an additional strategic channel to avail Etihad Cargo eBookings following the successful launch of Etihad Cargo’s portal in 2018, which today receives almost 50% of the carrier’s overall bookings.
The WebCargo platform will provide instant Etihad Cargo booking schedules, promotional rates and eBooking, enabling sales and operations teams at forwarders to compare and book air freight in seconds.
Following the announcement, Etihad Cargo’s flight schedules and market rates in mainland Europe and the UK will roll out on the WebCargo platform progressively allowing all platform members to review and compare airline offers, whilst instant eBookings functionality will follow in April upon the successful completion of API testing and systems integration. Spain, France and the UK are the markets where eBookings will be enabled first, with a gradual rollout to more markets to ultimately cover all of Europe throughout 2020.
