American Airlines Cargo expands presence on CargoAi

American Airlines Cargo has expanded its presence on online booking portal CargoMART with the addition of new European origins.

The Fort Worth carrier has added the ability to book cargo on its network from Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Netherlands, Portugal, UK, Spain, and Switzerland.

It initially launched its presence on the CargoAi-owned portal with its flights in France from May.

American Airlines Cargo president Greg Schwendinger said: “We are excited to announce our inaugural launch on CargoAI following a successful test run out of France.

“This is the first milestone in what we expect to be a strong and collaborative partnership with CargoAI, as well as a crucial part of our digital distribution strategy to expand our network reach to more cargo customers.”

The two firms said they are “eager” to continue their collaboration with more regional expansions in the future.

Matt Petot, chief executive of CargoAi, added: “We are delighted to extend our collaboration with American Airlines Cargo to multiple European origins.

“This partnership underscores our commitment to providing our users with best-in-class digital solutions that optimise their operations and drive efficiency in the air cargo industry.”

CargoAi added that its platform offers the ability to compare flight options by carbon emissions, track CO2 emissions at a shipment level, and purchase sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) whenever required.

American Airlines Cargo has been ramping up its digital presence this year. As well as adding its capacity to CargoAi, it also made its domestic US network available on cargo.one earlier this month.
