• Turkish Cargo will first roll out on WebCargo in Spain and India.

April 20, 2021: Turkish Cargo will provide forwarders with real-time pricing, capacity, and eBookings, access live rates, and see available air cargo capacity through WebCargo, a Freightos Group company. This provides critical agility as air cargo contends with unexpected shifts due to the global pandemic. 

Turhan Ozen, chief cargo officer at Turkish Airlines, remarked, "Effective leadership is required to handle the customers constantly diversifying demands accurately across the air cargo industry. As the air cargo brand with one of the widest networks in the world, we focus on digital solutions. We are pleased to partner with WebCargo to provide digital connectivity for our customers as part of our commitment to constant innovation in offering the best service possible.”

Turkish Cargo will first roll out on WebCargo in Spain and India, and will be quickly followed by roll outs in several more countries. With the airline’s shift to global eBookings, more than 20 percent of global air cargo capacity will now be digitised, providing more than 2,000 WebCargo forwarders customers across over 10,000 global branches with instant access to capacity and pricing.

“In the past year, eBookings have increased tenfold on WebCargo, making it clear that the future of air cargo is digital,” said Manel Galindo, CEO of WebCargo. “We’re incredibly proud to partner with Turkish Cargo, one of the most impactful and influential global cargo airlines, to launch eBookings for forwarders around the world.”
