Spanish airline Air Europa has placed its cargo capacity on online booking portal WebCargo as it continues to roll out digital services.
Initial digital booking capabilities will focus on the Spanish export routes – connecting Madrid with Barcelona, Bilbao, Valencia with all of Air Europa’s global network – and then add key international origins in Europe, the Americas and Asia Pacific, including perishable cargo capacity from Latin America.
WebCargo said the addition of Air Europa would strengthen its offering across key Spain-Latin America trade lanes "providing freight forwarders instant access to Air Europa’s extensive network of 15 domestic destinations within Spain and 40 international routes across Europe, North America, and Latin America”.
“Bringing Air Europa onto the WebCargo by Freightos platform marks another important milestone in air cargo’s digital transformation in the Spanish and Latin American markets,” said Wayne Tyndall, senior vice president commercial - forwarders & airlines at WebCargo.
“Air Europa is committed to innovation and digital optimization across our operations,” added Jordi Pique, general cargo manager at Air Europa. “Joining WebCargo by Freightos is a natural extension of this strategy, allowing us to make our capacity more accessible to freight forwarders while streamlining our booking processes.
"This partnership enhances our ability to serve the growing cargo demand between Europe and Latin America, providing our customers with the efficiency and transparency that modern supply chains require."
The airline has been investing in its digital capabilities in recent years. Last year the airline added its capacity to booking portal cargo.one, while in 2023 it partnered with CargoAi on booking.
Also, the airline has deployed Wiremind Cargo’s ULD optimisation product SkyPallet.
