Air China Cargo, China's national flag cargo carrier, has announced a strategic partnership with cargo.one, a leading digital booking platform for air cargo. This collaboration will provide thousands of freight forwarders with instant access to Air China Cargo's capacity, enabling them to book shipments digitally on key trade lanes connecting Europe and North America to China and other destinations.
This agreement represents a significant step for Air China Cargo as its first global digital distribution partnership. The move aims to modernize and streamline the booking process, offering greater efficiency and transparency for its customers.
For freight forwarders, this partnership means enhanced operational efficiency and improved access to Air China Cargo's network. The ability to instantly book and manage air freight capacity online will reduce manual processes, accelerate quoting and booking times, and potentially improve schedule reliability.
