BARCELONA, Spain, May 2, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- WebCargo by Freightos (NASDAQ: CRGO), a leading
vendor-neutral booking and payment platform for the international
freight industry, is excited to announce that Singapore Airlines'
cargo capacity is now being offered on WebCargo's platform. This
relationship with Singapore Airlines underscores WebCargo's
position as the leading digital platform for the air freight
industry, offering its users an end-to-end booking experience while
expanding its reach in the Asia-Pacific region. Digital bookings for
shipments from Asia origins on
WebCargo more than doubled between Q4 2022 and Q4 2023, showing
strong appetite for digitalization in Asia, a trend that will likely be accelerated
with Singapore's national carrier
on the platform.
With a fleet of seven Boeing 747-400F freighters and over 190
Singapore Airlines and Scoot passenger aircraft serving more than
120 destinations, Singapore Airlines brings expanded reach to the
thousands of freight forwarders that use WebCargo's platform for
real-time air cargo pricing and booking starting this week. The
partnership provides WebCargo's users with additional access to
sought-after Asia-Pacific
destinations, such as Singapore,
Hong Kong, Australia, Indonesia, Thailand and Vietnam. Coverage on the platform is slated to
increase over the course of the year.
Marvin Tan, Senior Vice President
Cargo, Singapore Airlines, said, "Singapore Airlines' partnership
with WebCargo expands our reach to new markets, and provides our
customers with a seamless user experience when they search, book,
and track their shipments in real time. This enables us to better
serve our customers by responding even more swiftly to their
evolving needs."
Manel Galindo, Chief Revenue
Officer of Freightos, said, "We're thrilled to work with Singapore
Airlines. Their commitment to digital innovation aligns perfectly
with WebCargo's mission to provide seamless and efficient
booking solutions for the air cargo industry and allows us to
double down on the recent surge in bookings from Asia. This collaboration will enhance the
booking experience for thousands of freight forwarders and will
ultimately make world trade smoother."
