China Airlines Introduces Online Cargo Reservations via WebCargo by Freightos®, Streamlining Crucial International Trade Routes
China Airlines Goes Digital with Freightos' WebCargo Platform
China Airlines has taken a significant step towards digitalizing its freight forwarding operations by integrating with the WebCargo platform by Freightos. This partnership will provide thousands of freight forwarders worldwide with instant access to digital pricing and bookings for air cargo, particularly on key Asia-Europe-Americas routes 1.
The digital transformation is a key pillar of China Airlines' strategy to better serve its forwarder partners, as stated by Eddy Liu, Senior Vice President of China Airlines 2. The integration will span major hubs across the United States, Canada, Germany, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, and Japan, along with 14 destinations throughout Mainland China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Southeast Asia 1.
The platforms involved in this digitalization effort are the WebCargo platform by Freightos and Freightos itself. WebCargo is a leading online air cargo booking and rate management platform that supports instant digital pricing, booking, and payments 13. It also enables non-IATA forwarders to access airline capacity without requiring credit lines or bank guarantees, thus broadening market reach and inclusivity.
Freightos, the parent company operating WebCargo, provides tools for rate management, procurement, and interlining capabilities, facilitating seamless bookings across multiple carriers, which enhances route options and load factor optimization 3. This partnership will significantly expand China Airlines' reach to thousands of forwarders globally and improve efficiency in the air cargo supply chain 13.
In future phases, WebCargo Pay instant payment will be available for China Airlines bookings, enabling forwarders to manage bookings and payments in one streamlined workflow 1.
