CargoAi facilitates eAWB transition and ISC2

CARGOAI has launched a new feature to support its users with the paperless transition. From 3rd April, the 9000+ freight forwarders using CargoMART will be able to send FWB and FHL, once the booking is made, to 80+ airlines.

While IATA announced the industry goal of achieving 100% eAWB by the end of 2022, this was not yet fully achieved. CargoAi aims to bridge the gap between paper and digital AWBs by facilitating the messaging for small and medium sized freight forwarders.

“We fully support this move by CargoAi and hope to see wider customer adoption of eAWB - it is a vital step forward for the air cargo industry and offers a considerable advantage in driving operational efficiency and simplifying the process of document handling,” David Rose, Chief Transformation Officer at IAG Cargo commented.

allows CargoMART users to send all information required for ISC2, to comply with the new European customs standards. The feature is available for all leading airlines available on CargoMART such as Qatar Airways Cargo, Lufthansa Cargo, Turkish Airways Cargo and 80+ other airlines that have been directly integrated.

“We are excited to launch this new feature to support our users, in addition to the many features already available on CargoMART. The eAWB, being digital, facilitates communication between all parties, ensuring the status of the shipment can be tracked within CargoMART itself, allowing for greater transparency and improved visibility of the shipment’s status. Of course, the eAWB eliminates the need for physical documents, it only reduces printing, handling, and storage costs, but also the waste and the carbon footprint of the industry,” Matt Petot, CEO of CargoAi, said.
