China Airlines launches digital bookings on WebCargo by Freightos

Freightos announced that China Airlines, a top-15 air cargo carrier, will be launching on Freightos' WebCargo and 7LFreight platforms.

"Starting next week, thousands of freight forwarders will have instant access to China Airlines' rates, capacity and eBookings across a network of 85 aircraft serving 192 destinations in 29 countries," says an official release from Freightos.

Forwarders can now digitally search, quote and book shipments with China Airlines — directly through WebCargo's booking platform with live integration to the leading rate management and quoting platform. Freight forwarders can even book directly from their transportation management systems (TMS) where these are integrated with WebCargo, the release added.

"We're excited to bring China Airlines, a major player in Asia-Pacific air trade, to Freightos' leading air cargo booking platform, including both WebCargo and 7LFreight," says Zvi Schreiber, CEO, Freightos. "Our customers - airlines, freight forwarders and shippers - are currently grappling with fast-changing tariff uncertainties. The ability to instantly and transparently book air cargo is an important tool for maintaining agility during this time and to keep world trade flowing."

The initial rollout will span major hubs across the United States, Canada, Germany, Luxembourg, the Netherlands and Japan, along with 14 destinations throughout Mainland China, Hong Kong, Taiwan and Southeast Asia including Malaysia, the Philippines, Vietnam, Singapore, Thailand, and Indonesia, the release added.

"Digital transformation is a key pillar of China Airlines' strategy to better serve our forwarder partners through real-time access to our capacity and rates," says Eddy Liu, Senior Vice President, China Airlines. "By joining Freightos' digital platform, we're meeting our customers where they are as part of our commitment to simplify air cargo and exceed customer expectations in a digital-first world."
