Freight forwarders using WebCargo will have access to YTO Cargo Airlines' real-time pricing, instant booking and interline connections
YTO Cargo Airlines has become the first all-cargo Chinese airline to place its capacity on the WebCargo by Freightos booking platform.
The collaboration will give freight forwarders access to real-time pricing, instant booking, interline connections, and integrated payments across high-demand, critical lanes between China and South Asia, initially focusing on India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh before expanding to the Persian Gulf and Europe.
The exclusive capacity deal offers forwarders speed-to-booking across perishables, pharmaceuticals, electronics, and cross-border e-commerce, supported by Hangzhou’s cross-border e-commerce pilot zone.
YTO joins more than 75 airlines already live on the WebCargo platform, which cuts the traditional quote-to-confirmation cycle from up to 48 hours to just minutes, said Freightos
“Freight forwarders need fast, reliable access to South Asia-China capacity and, when they do, they need it fast,” said Joyce Tai, Freightos’ executive vice president of worldwide partnerships.
“By bringing YTO’s dedicated freighter network onto Freightos’ platform for booking, payment, and interline, we’re removing friction where it matters most, and making global trade smoother and more efficient.
"This partnership significantly strengthens our platform's offering in Asia, which remains a strategic priority in our expansion plans. And with Freightos Enterprise, forwarders and shippers can manage the full lifecycle in one integrated suite."
"As we celebrate our 10-year anniversary, YTO Cargo Airlines remains steadfast in advancing the digitalization and globalization of air logistics," said Hong Xiang Li, President of YTO Cargo Airlines.
"By joining the WebCargo by Freightos platform, we enhance our digital service capabilities while diversifying distribution channels. We are confident that this collaboration will accelerate our international market expansion, reinforcing YTO's transformation into a world-class integrated logistics and supply chain service provider."
In June, China Airlines placed its capacity and rates on Freightos’ WebCargo and 7LFreight platforms.
