WebCargo by Freightos has announced its partnership with JALCARGO, the cargo arm of Japan Airlines (JAL). Thousands of freight forwarders already using WebCargo will now be able to eBook for JAL’s air cargo capacity to Japan and other Asian countries from Japan, Europe and the United Kingdom.
“Digital transformation is key for JALCARGO’s growth. Offering capacity on WebCargo’s platform will help generate new business and enable us to provide all our clients with real-time rates on a platform that makes it easy to book and pay for cargo online,” said Yuichiro Kito, Executive Officer, Cargo and Mail at Japan Airlines.
Tokyo’s airports consistently rank among the top world air cargo hubs by freight tonnes. With this launch, forwarders will gain access to JALCARGO’s impressive fleet to book cargo on select routes among JAL’s 66 international destinations and 133 domestic destinations.
“With a network that spans hundreds of airports, JALCARGO is a wonderful addition to the cadre of leading world carriers offering air cargo capacity on WebCargo’s platform,” said Manel Galindo, CRO of Freightos.
“Asia has been and always will be an integral market for WebCargo and our customers. With JALCARGO onboard, WebCargo can provide European and Japanese forwarders with access to 60% of global air cargo capacity online, efficient booking and quoting in just minutes, and wider trade lane coverage to key Asian markets. This partnership helps us continue to build Freightos’ vision of creating a truly vendor-neutral global freight booking platform that makes international shipping faster, more cost-effective and reliable, and one that expands trade between the people of the world.”
