Rollout will provide forwarders in the USA with real-time pricing, capacity, and eBookings via WebCargo
Qatar Airways Cargo has announced the further roll out of third-party eBooking platform WebCargo by Freightos across the USA effective 19 July 2021.
Forwarders in the USA will be able to conduct eBookings with access to live rates and available capacity on the WebCargo platform. This will further improve their booking experience with the airline, resulting in higher efficiencies and instant responses for confirmation.
The cargo carrier has an extensive network in the United States spanning 12 cities with 145 weekly flights, thus offering customers more than 4,700 tonnes of cargo capacity every week.
“Following our successful launch across Europe, we are glad to introduce WebCargo throughout the United States of America, steadily extending digitalisation across our organization,” remarked Guillaume Halleux, Chief Officer Cargo, Qatar Airways.
“It is an honour to expand WebCargo’s partnership with Qatar Airways Cargo to the United States of America, bringing direct access to the world’s number one cargo airline to the world’s largest economy,” commented Zvi Schreiber, CEO, Freightos Group.
Since the introduction of WebCargo in February 2021, Qatar Airways Cargo has been receiving high volumes of eBookings via the platform. With this launch in the USA, the total count of countries in the airline’s network on the WebCargo platform will increase to 33, with 12 online stations going live in the United States of America.
