American Airlines Cargo announced the expansion of its strategic partnership with CargoAi, a leading digital enabler in the air cargo industry. The expansion aims to enhance airfreight booking capabilities on CargoMART, CargoAi’s cutting-edge platform for freight management, by integrating American Airlines Cargo’s extensive network for use. Following a successful initial launch in France, the cargo carrier has 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. The advanced technology and functionalities of CargoMART complement the carrier’s own digital booking platform, aacargo.com, thereby 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” says 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.”

Matt Petot, CEO of CargoAi, expressed his enthusiasm about the expanded partnership: “We are delighted to extend our collaboration with American Airlines Cargo to multiple European origins. This partnership underscores our commitment to providing our users with best-in-class digital solutions that optimize their operations and drive efficiency in the air cargo industry.”

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. The two companies are eager to see how their partnership will help drive modernization in the industry.
