Starting next week, thousands of freight forwarders will have instant access to China Airlines' rates, capacity, and eBookings across a network of 85 aircraft serving 192 destinations in 29 countries. Forwarders can now digitally search, quote and book shipments with China Airlines — directly through WebCargo's booking platform, with live integration to the leading rate management and quoting platform. Freight forwarders can even book directly from their transportation management systems (TMS) where these are integrated with WebCargo.

"We're excited to bring China Airlines, a major player in Asia-Pacific air trade, to Freightos' leading air cargo booking platform, including both WebCargo and 7LFreight," said Zvi Schreiber, CEO of Freightos. "Our customers–airlines, freight forwarders and shippers–are currently grappling with fast-changing tariff uncertainties. The ability to instantly and transparently book air cargo is an important tool for maintaining agility during this time and to keep world trade flowing."

The initial rollout will span major hubs across the United States, Canada, Germany, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, and Japan, along with 14 destinations throughout Mainland China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Southeast Asia including Malaysia, the Philippines, Vietnam, Singapore, Thailand, and Indonesia. In future phases, WebCargo Pay instant payment will be available for China Airlines bookings, enabling forwarders to manage bookings and payments in one streamlined workflow. This integration will include general cargo, express rates, ULD bookings and contract rates.

"Digital transformation is a key pillar of China Airlines' strategy to better serve our forwarder partners through real-time access to our capacity and rates," said Eddy Liu, Senior Vice President, China Airlines.  "By joining Freightos' digital platform, we're meeting our customers where they are, as part of our commitment to simplify air cargo and exceed customer expectations in a digital-first world."

"We are delighted to launch operations across five key Japanese hubs—Narita, Nagoya, Osaka, Fukuoka and Okinawa—with China Airlines," shared Hiroyoshi Umeka, General Manager North Asia at WebCargo by Freightos. This digital integration will significantly enhance trade and freight movement between Japan, the Greater China Region, and Southeast Asia, offering unprecedented efficiency and transparency. We are honored to be chosen by China Airlines and the Japanese forwarding community as their primary digital partner."
