BARCELONA, Spain, Jan. 29,
2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Freightos (NASDAQ: CRGO), a
leading vendor-neutral booking and payment platform for the
international freight industry, announced today that Norwegian
Cargo, the cargo division of Norwegian Air UK, in collaboration
with the independent Dutch GSA Euro Cargo Aviation (ECA), has
joined the world's biggest 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.
The initial rollout will focus on major UK hubs, including
London Gatwick (LGW), Manchester (MAN), and Edinburgh (EDI) and ensure seamless eBooking,
enhanced visibility, and simplified operational processes for
forwarders managing shipments within and beyond Europe.
"Bringing Norwegian Cargo onto WebCargo by Freightos highlights
our commitment to providing freight forwarders with trusted air
cargo capacity worldwide," said Zvi
Schreiber, founder and CEO of Freightos. "The
United Kingdom's rapid adoption of
air cargo digitalization—evidenced by a 40% 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% of global air cargo capacity, delivering even greater
value to the 10,000+ freight forwarder offices using our
platform."
"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," said Louis J Elgar of Euro Cargo Aviation on
behalf of Norwegian Cargo. "Choosing WebCargo, the leading
digital air cargo platform, 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."
