JAL Cargo has continued to expand its online offering by adding its cargo capacity to booking portal WebCargo.
Freight forwarders will be able to book JAL’s capacity for flights to Japan and other Asian countries from Japan, Europe and the UK.
Japan Airlines executive officer for cargo and mail said: “Digital transformation is key for JALCARGO’s growth. Offering capacity on WebCargo’s platform will help generate new business and enable us to provide all our clients with real-time rates on a platform that makes it easy to book and pay for cargo online.”
Manel Galindo, chief revenue officer of WebCargo parent Freightos, added: “Asia has been and always will be an integral market for WebCargo and our customers.
“With JAL Cargo onboard, WebCargo can provide European and Japanese forwarders with access to 60% of global air cargo capacity online, efficient booking and quoting in just minutes, and wider trade lane coverage to key Asian markets.”
Last week, Freightos revealed its fourth-quarter highlights.
The company said that it had recorded 16 consecutive months of record transactions on its booking platform; that the number of transactions completed in the fourth quarter had increased 36% year on year and that the number of carriers selling on the platform had reached 45 from 35 last year.
