With the biggest Pacific fish in the form of Australia’s Qantas Freight and Jetstar on board of WebCargo by Freightos, the air cargo booking platform can now boast a total of 55 carriers representing almost 70% of global air cargo capacity. The latest addition seriously increases the trans-Pacific offering on key U.S., Australian and New Zealand Routes. Freight forwarders can now search, compare and book Qantas and Jetstar capacity across both Freightos’ WebCargo and 7LFreight by WebCargo for all of Qantas’ combined passenger and 747-400F freighter services between key U.S. hubs such as Los Angeles (LAX), San Francisco (SFO), Dallas/Fort Worth (DFW), and New York (JFK), and major Australian cities: Sydney (SYD), Melbourne (MEL) and Brisbane (BNE). “U.S. forwarders will have more options at their disposal for instant rate quotes and bookings by both ground and air providers, including Less Than Truckload (LTL) shipments, domestic U.S. air cargo, and international air cargo, all on one platform,” the release specifies.
Zvi Schreiber, Founder and CEO of Freightos, underlined: “The air cargo industry is in the midst of a transformation, with digital solutions driving the shift toward faster, more reliable freight movements. Partnering with Qantas Freight enables forwarders to take control of their shipments with real-time booking and visibility, whether via WebCargo, 7LFreight by WebCargo, or even in their TMSs via our integrations. This is what modern logistics needs to look like, and together with Qantas, we’re setting a new standard for digitalization and efficiency in trans-Pacific trade.”
Igor Kwiatkowski, Executive Manager at Qantas Freight, explained: “Partnering with Freightos is great for our customers, streamlining the booking process on key trans-Pacific routes and modernizing the way forwarders access Qantas and Jetstar capacity. With more dedicated freighter and passenger services than any other cargo operator across the Pacific, forwarders can now benefit from the addition of Qantas Freight onto WebCargo’s online booking platform.”
