Freightos announced that Norwegian Cargo, the cargo division of Norwegian Air UK, in collaboration with the independent Dutch GSA Euro Cargo Aviation (ECA), has joined its air cargo booking platform, WebCargo by Freightos.
"This collaboration marks Norwegian Cargo's first digital booking platform integration, bringing real-time eBooking capabilities to freight forwarders and enhancing access to its extensive network which connects 40 European airports to Nordic countries as well as intercontinental routes to key cities in North America, Asia and the Caribbean," says an official release from Freightos.
The initial rollout will focus on major U..K hubs including London Gatwick, Manchester and Edinburgh, and ensure seamless eBooking, enhanced visibility and simplified operational processes for forwarders managing shipments within and beyond Europe, the release added.
"Bringing Norwegian Cargo onto WebCargo by Freightos highlights our commitment to providing freight forwarders with trusted air cargo capacity worldwide," says Zvi Schreiber, Founder and CEO, Freightos. "The United Kingdom's rapid adoption of air cargo digitalisation - evidenced by a 40 percent increase in booking volumes made in the UK in Q3 2024 compared to the same period last year - demonstrates the growing demand for streamlined, digital solutions. With Norwegian Cargo now available, WebCargo covers some 70 percent of global air cargo capacity, delivering even greater value to the 10,000+ freight forwarder offices using our platform."
Louis J Elgar of Euro Cargo Aviation on behalf of Norwegian Cargo adds: "This marks a milestone for Norwegian Cargo as our first step into offering capacity on a digital booking platform, and we're thrilled to partner with air cargo leader WebCargo by Freightos to make it happen. Choosing WebCargo reflects our commitment to innovation and delivering greater value to our customers. This partnership will simplify the booking process and give freight forwarders seamless access to our extensive network which spans the Nordics, Europe and beyond."
