Ethiopian Cargo, the largest air freight provider in Africa, will be integrated into the Freightos booking platform by the end of March. The integration includes digital rates, quotes, and eBooking, as well as WebCargo Pay for fast digital payments and interlining functions.
Ethiopian Cargo serves over 145 destinations worldwide, utilizing a combination of its own freighter aircraft and the cargo space of passenger planes. Freightos‘ WebCargo platform allows forwarders to search, quote, and book flight capacities in seconds, significantly reducing response times to customer inquiries. The direct integration with leading tools for managing air and sea freight rates enables forwarders to respond more quickly to market changes.
Growth of the African Air Freight Market
The African air freight market is growing faster than the global average; however, a significant portion of bookings in the region is handled by non-African airlines. The inclusion of Ethiopian Airlines in the Freightos WebCargo platform expands the digital offering of one of the continent’s leading airlines and enhances connectivity within Africa. Forwarders can now book capacities to key destinations such as Europe, the USA, China, India, Kenya, and South Africa, strengthening the connections between global markets and Ethiopian Cargo’s extensive intra-African network.
Pablo Pinillos, CFO and Interim CEO of Freightos, commented on the changes in global trade: “Access to speed and reliability has become crucial as capacities, routes, and costs are constantly changing. With Ethiopian Cargo on our platform, forwarders can utilize practical tools to move freight efficiently.”
Digital Transformation at Ethiopian Cargo
Dereje Derero, Managing Director of Ethiopian Cargo & Logistics Services, emphasized the importance of digital transformation for the company’s growth. “We are integrating various booking and payment solutions into our services to provide our customers with greater efficiency. By partnering with Freightos, we are enhancing our freight services for customers worldwide by offering digital rates, quotes, and eBooking solutions.”
The integration of Ethiopian Cargo into the Freightos platform is expected to increase efficiency and flexibility in air freight operations and further solidify the company’s position as a leading freight provider on the continent. Forwarders wishing to book Ethiopian Cargo through Freightos can register on the platform and take advantage of the new features.
