In the upcoming months, Thai Airways will integrate its cargo capacities into WebCargo’s system. This integration will allow freight forwarders to book and pay for air cargo directly via WebCargo Pay, an integrated payment solution designed for seamless transactions and reconciliations.
Initially, the partnership will benefit freight forwarders in Australia, Japan, Thailand, and the United Kingdom, enabling them to efficiently book and pay for Thai Airways cargo services through WebCargo’s platform.
"By facilitating easy booking and payment for Thai Airways capacity on WebCargo's platform, we are not only broadening digital access to one of Asia's largest air cargo networks but also advancing our mission to transform cargo bookings and payments," said Manuel Galindo, Chief Revenue Officer of Freightos. "With WebCargo eBooking and Pay, Thai Airways can expand its reach and offer customers flexible credit and payment options, completing bookings in seconds."
