Qantas Freight and partner airline Jetstar are placing capacity on select flights from Australia onto CargoAi’s digital booking platform.
The airlines will initially place capacity on their services between Australia and the US, UK and South Africa onto the CargoMart and CargoConnect solutions developed by CargoAi.
This will give CargoAi’s freight forwarder users access to “real-time rates and a more streamlined booking process”.
Qantas said the move was part of its digital expansion as it looks to better serve its customers and meet the evolving demands of the air cargo industry.
Igor Kwiatkowski, executive manager Qantas Freight, said: “The platform’s innovative model will give our customers instant access to many of our international passenger and freighter services in and out of Australia and real-time visibility of our schedules, capacity and rates for a more streamlined booking experience.”
Matt Petot, chief executive of CargoAi, added: “This partnership not only adds significant value and reach to our users globally but also demonstrates Qantas Freight’s commitment to leveraging digital solutions to deliver the best possible service to its customers.”
This is the booking platform’s third new airline partnership announced this year.
In February, CargoAi announced that CMA CGM Air Cargo had begun offering its capacity on its booking portal.
Later that month, Canadian carrier WestJet also announced a partnership with CargoAi.
