Ethiopian Cargo will integrate with WebCargo by Freightos at the end of March, making Africa's largest air cargo network digitally bookable for forwarders, reports London's Air Cargo News.
The Addis Ababa-based carrier serves more than 145 destinations using freighters and passenger belly capacity. This integration will provide digital rates, quoting, e-booking, and interlining capabilities, allowing forwarders to book capacity in seconds with real-time payments.
Pablo Pinillos, chief financial officer and interim chief executive of Freightos, stated that the partnership offers forwarders practical tools to manage volatile trade conditions with less friction and more flexibility.
Dereje Derero, managing director of Ethiopian Cargo & Logistics Services, emphasized that digital transformation is central to the airline's growth strategy. He added that the Freightos tie-up enhances services for customers by offering faster access and reliable digital booking solutions.
Freightos noted that more than 1.5 million digital bookings were made on its platform between 2021 and 2026, reflecting major strides in air freight digitalization by carriers and forwarders.
