August 19, 2021: Qatar Airways Cargo will further rolled out WebCargo by Freightos across rest of its network, effective August 23, 2021.

Qatar Airways chief officer cargo, Guillaume Halleux, said, “Within a short span of six months, we will complete our global rollout of WebCargo by Freightos on August 23 and I am proud of all our teams who have worked dedicatedly all these months to ensure a successful implementation. At Qatar Airways Cargo, the customer is at the core of all our activities and we will continue actively with our digitalisation initiatives for the benefit of our customers.”

Since launching WebCargo in February 2021 across France, Germany, Italy, South Africa, Spain and the Netherlands, the airline has been quick to implement WebCargo across several countries in Europe and most recently, the US in July 2021. The global implementation across the carrier’s network will cover 72 countries where customers will have instant access to capacity and pricing.

Freightos Group CEO Zvi Schreiber, commented, “Qatar Airways Cargo has been working closely with us to bring digitalisation and transparency to as many freight forwarders as possible since their launch of WebCargo by Freightos earlier this year. We are proud to now be expanding our partnership to include an additional 39 countries, allowing key markets such as India, Japan, and Latin America direct access to real-time pricing, capacity, and eBookings on the world’s largest cargo airline.”

The rollout of WebCargo’s eBooking platform across its network in a short span is an important digitalisation milestone for the airline.
