7LFreight provides access to 69% U.S. domestic air cargo capacity
United Airlines Cargo, American Airlines Cargo and Delta Cargo join FedEx and UPS on the platform
Following the addition of American Airlines Cargo, Delta Cargo and United Airlines Cargo capacity to the WebCargo and 7LFreight digital cargo booking platforms, combined with existing capacity from FedEx and UPS, 7LFreight now provides eBooking access to 69 percent of domestic U.S. air cargo capacity.
"Capacity from five of the largest U.S. airlines means that U.S. forwarders now have more options at their disposal for instant rating and booking by both ground and air providers, including Less Than Truckload (LTL) shipments, domestic air cargo and international air cargo, all on one platform," says a release from Freightos.
The U.S. domestic air cargo market has grown substantially in recent years, driven in part by the Covid-19 pandemic that created a surge in e-commerce and the need for faster delivery times, the release added. "In 2020 alone, U.S. air carriers handled over 25 billion pounds of domestic freight. Many routine goods and retail products are now moved through the skies, including pharmaceuticals, perishable agricultural products and other time-sensitive products."
Brennan O’Dowd, Founder and CEO, 7LFreight by WebCargo says: "“Our goal at 7LFreight has always been to simplify the freight process. By integrating real-time rate management, quotes and bookings for LTL trucking as well as domestic and international air cargo on one platform, we are providing a simple yet powerful tool that removes the complexity of managing multiple processes. This allows our customers to focus on their core operations without the hassle.”
