Freightos, the leading vendor-neutral digital pricing, booking and procurement platform for the international freight industry, announced that Air Serbia will be joining its cargo booking platform, further expanding Freightos’ airline network and strengthening adoption of Freightos Pay in Europe. This integration will extend Freightos Pay’s reach by enabling rapid, guaranteed digital payments between freight forwarders and carriers across Europe, including for forwarders without IATA accreditation – a key barrier to digital transaction adoption in the region.
The addition of Air Serbia is a significant boost for freight forwarders. Once live, Air Serbia air cargo will be available for e-bookings across the United States and throughout its European network, from Albania and Austria to Sweden and Switzerland, opening all origins on Freightos’ platform. Forwarders will also gain access to niche destinations beyond Belgrade, including Zagreb, Podgorica, Tbilisi, Tirana, Sarajevo, Skopje, and many more.
“We’re excited to welcome Air Serbia to Freightos,” said Sebastien Podgorski, VP Airline Solutions, at Freightos. “In air cargo, payments are more than a back office function; they’re a strategic lever. By combining booking with guaranteed payments, we’re helping airlines strengthen cash flow, reduce disputes, and open up distribution to a much broader set of forwarders. That’s what will drive a more accessible and efficient market.”
“Digital transformation is at the core of our growth strategy, and partnering with Freightos represents a significant step forward in our cargo operations,” said Veselin Djordjevic, Head of Cargo at Air Serbia. “The guaranteed payment solution addresses a critical business need for us, eliminating financial uncertainty while expanding our reach to freight forwarders across Europe and beyond. This integration will streamline operations, reduce administrative work, and help us focus on delivering excellent service to our cargo customers.”
Freightos’ Pay solution streamlines the financial aspect of air cargo bookings by ensuring carrier payment from a broader range of freight forwarders, all while processing and reconciling transactions faster than traditional payment methods. This reduces financial risk for airlines and helps freight forwarders without an existing airline account or accreditation access carriers and grow their customer base.
