American Airlines Cargo has announced the expansion of its partnership with CargoAi, a digital platform for freight forwarders.

The deal aims to enhance airfreight booking capabilities on CargoMART, CargoAi's platform for freight management, by integrating American Airlines Cargo's network.

American Airlines Cargo said following a successful initial launch in France, the cargo carrier has now extended its network on the CargoMART platform to include origins in Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Netherlands, Portugal, UK, Spain, and Switzerland.

"In this partnership, American Airlines Cargo will continue to seamlessly integrate into CargoMART, offering freight forwarders access to a comprehensive network of routes and a streamlined booking process," it added.

The airline noted that the technology and functionalities of CargoMART complement the carrier's own digital booking platform, aacargo.com, enhancing the digital experience for customers seeking capacity and managing bookings on American's cargo network.

"We are excited to announce our inaugural launch on CargoAI following a successful test run out of France," said Greg Schwendinger, president, American Airlines Cargo.

"This is the first milestone in what we expect to be a strong and collaborative partnership with CargoAI, as well as a crucial part of our digital distribution strategy to expand our network reach to more cargo customers."

CargoMART provides a range of features, including real-time capacity and rate visibility, quoting, e-Booking, and Track and Trace functionalities.

One differentiating feature of the platform is the ability to compare flight options by carbon emissions, track CO2 emissions at a shipment level, and purchase sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) whenever required.

American and CargoAI plan to continue their collaboration with more regional expansions expected in the future.
