CargoAi has introduced CargoMART Interline to “revolutionize airline connectivity”, as the press release states. The feature automates interline cargo bookings for airlines, replacing manual processes – historically reliant on emails and phone calls – with instant digital capacity checks and e-bookings. This innovation eliminates operational bottlenecks and unlocks significant revenue potential by streamlining interline partnerships.
CargoMART Interline allows airlines to instantly check and book interline capacity, eliminating the need for time-consuming email or phone confirmations. This seamless integration optimizes revenue by unlocking additional capacity with minimal effort, making it easier for airlines to scale their operations efficiently. The platform, used by a number of airlines including Emirates SkyCargo which was heavily involved in its development and testing, makes optimum use of existing APIs, ensuring rapid adoption without the need for heavy IT investments. Furthermore, it prepares airlines for the next step: enabling direct interline booking for freight forwarders on pre-approved lanes, which expands their reach and operational flexibility. CargoMART Interline is universally compatible with over 107 API-connected airlines. Integrated into CargoMART’s existing suite, which includes features like Promote and Loadboard, the Interline feature enhances visibility, reduces operational inefficiencies, and maximizes revenue within a unified platform. By digitizing a traditionally fragmented process, CargoMART Interline sets a new standard for scalability and operational efficiency, positioning airlines to meet evolving logistics demands effectively.
Matt Petot, CargoAi’s CEO, declared: “As an industry, we can no longer afford the inefficiencies of traditional interline booking. With CargoMART Interline, airlines can scale their partnerships effortlessly, maximize revenue, and prepare for a new era where forwarders can directly book interline capacity. Emirates SkyCargo has been instrumental in the development of this tool, and we are excited to extend its benefits to the entire air cargo community.”
Matthew Scott, Vice President of Pricing, Airline Partnerships and Distribution, Emirates SkyCargo, commented: “Our digitalization strategy is to deploy tools that drive tangible impact, so partnering with CargoAi on this pioneering solution was a natural fit. During testing, CargoMART Interline streamlined our operations, minimized manual tasks, and provided more flexible and direct access to our world-class product and service. We look forward to its expansion across the industry.”
