SriLankan Cargo, the air freight arm of SriLankan Airlines, has joined WebCargo by Freightos, a leading digital booking and payment platform for international freight. The integration permits over 10,000 freight forwarding offices worldwide to seamlessly access SriLankan Cargo’s capacity,request quotations, make bookings and process payments in real time.
Head of Cargo at SriLankan Airlines, Chaminda Perera said, “By joining Freightos’ WebCargo platform, we’re not just digitalising our booking process – we’re expanding our reach to thousands of new potential customers.
“The integration with Freightos’ rate management and procurement tools ensures our services are visible at the critical decision-making stage of the freight buying process,” he said.
CEO of Freightos, Zvi Schreiber said, “SriLankan Cargo brings high-quality regional capacity into our digital network at a time when agility is key. By integrating their rates and capacity, forwarders gain instant and enhanced access to critical South Asian trade lanes, including Colombo and India.” The integration also expands market participation through WebCargo Pay which allows non-IATA forwarders across Asia to access SriLankan Cargo’s capacity without requiring airline credit lines or bank guarantees. SriLankan Cargo offers extensive coverage across key trade lanes in the Middle East, Southeast Asia, Europe and the Indian Subcontinent, supported by a robust feeder network using Colombo as a consolidation hub.
SriLankan Cargo is also leveraging WebCargo by Freightos’ interlining capabilities, enhancing SriLankan’s existing partnerships with major carriers, and eventually permitting forwarders to book complex multi-carrier routes while helping partner airlines optimise their load factors.
