Qantas Freight, the cargo division of Australia's national carrier Qantas, has joined Freightos' air cargo booking platform.

The vendor-neutral booking and payment platform for the international freight industry said this partnership will enable freight forwarders to search, compare and book capacity across Freightos' WebCargo and 7LFreight by WebCargo platforms for all Qantas and Jetstar services between the US, Australia and New Zealand.

Qantas Freight's trans-Pacific network allows freight forwarders to streamline and improve operations with digital bookings between key US hubs, including Los Angeles (LAX), San Francisco (SFO), Dallas/Fort Worth (DFW), and New York (JFK) and major Australian cities, such as Sydney (SYD), Melbourne (MEL) and Brisbane (BNE).

The announcement said that with Qantas' combined passenger and 747-400F freighter services, forwarders benefit from unmatched capacity options. US forwarders will also have more options for instant rate quotes and bookings by both ground and air providers, including Less Than Truckload (LTL) shipments, domestic US air cargo, and international air cargo, all on one platform.

"The air cargo industry is in the midst of a transformation, with digital solutions driving the shift toward faster, more reliable freight movements. Partnering with Qantas Freight enables forwarders to take control of their shipments with real-time booking and visibility, whether via WebCargo, 7LFreight by WebCargo or even in their TMSs via our integrations," said Zvi Schreiber, founder and CEO of Freightos.

"This is what modern logistics needs to look like, and together with Qantas, we're setting a new standard for digitalization and efficiency in trans-Pacific trade."

Igor Kwiatkowski, executive manager at Qantas Freight, noted that partnering with Freightos is great for our customers. It streamlines the booking process on key trans-Pacific routes and modernizes the way forwarders access Qantas and Jetstar capacity.

"With more dedicated freighter and passenger services than any other cargo operator across the Pacific, forwarders can now benefit from the addition of Qantas Freight onto WebCargo’s online booking platform," he said.

WebCargo by Freightos offers capacity for 55 carriers, representing nearly 70% of global air cargo capacity.
