The leading vendor-neutral digital pricing, booking and procurement platform for the international freight industry, Freightos (NASDAQ: CRGO), announced today that Air Serbia will join its cargo booking platform. That means further expanding of Freightos’ airline network and strengthening adoption of Freightos Pay in Europe. Freightos Pay will get access to rapid, guaranteed digital payments between freight forwarders and carriers across Europe, including for forwarders without IATA accreditation, due to this integration.
Freight forwarders will be boosted by the addition of Air Serbia. It will make Air Serbia air cargo available for e-bookings across the United States and throughout its European network, from Albania and Austria to Sweden and Switzerland.
According to Sebastien Podgorski, VP Airline Solutions, at Freightos, payments are a strategic lever in air cargo. Combining booking with guaranteed payments will help airlines strengthen cash flow, reduce disputes, and open up distribution to a much broader set of forwarders.
As Veselin Djordjevic, Head of Cargo at Air Serbia, said, digital transformation is at the core of our growth strategy, and partnering with Freightos represents a significant step forward in our cargo operations.
She added that the guaranteed payment solution will eliminate financial uncertainty while expanding the reach to freight forwarders across Europe and beyond. Operations will be streamlined, administrative work will be reduced by this integration.
Freightos’ Pay solution ensures carrier payment from a broader range of freight forwarders, all while processing and reconciling transactions faster than traditional payment methods. This streamlines the financial aspect of air cargo bookings and reduces financial risk for airlines and helps freight forwarders without an existing airline account or accreditation access carriers and grow their customer base.
