Imagine a transformative shift in international freight logistics—where digital access and real-time data are revolutionizing how cargo moves across the globe. But here's where it gets controversial: a recent partnership is dramatically expanding this digital frontier, connecting more carriers and freight forwarders than ever before. Freightos, a top platform for global freight booking, has announced a strategic alliance with Megacap Aviation Service, one of China's leading General Sales Agents (GSAs) specializing in trade routes across Asia. This collaboration opens up over 5,000 freight forwarders worldwide to instantly book capacity with 13 airlines from Megacap's network, starting with Ethiopian Airlines—the largest cargo operator in Africa— and extending soon to major carriers across Asia-Pacific, Europe, the Middle East, and the Americas.
And this is the part most people miss: China's booming import and export activity, especially its trade with Africa, Europe, and North America, continues to fuel the surge in global freight demand. Freightos is committed to making this complex industry more transparent and accessible—offering instant rates and capacity visibility to help propel China and Asia’s development forward.
Megacap Aviation Service acts as a vital link, representing multiple international airlines in Asia and streamlining their sales operations within China. Thanks to this new integration, freight forwarders will have real-time info on Ethiopian Airlines’ capacity, rates, and booking options—soon to include additional carriers like Aeromexico. This is especially significant for those involved in China–Africa trade routes and connecting logistics between Asia, Europe, and the Americas, providing faster, more reliable options for global trade flows.
Zvi Schreiber, CEO of Freightos, emphasizes how this partnership enhances trade efficiency: “WebCargo by Freightos combines an array of top-tier capacity options, making international shipping more transparent and easier for all participants. By partnering with Megacap Aviation, we give freight forwarders real-time digital access to 13 carriers—including Ethiopian Airlines—which empowers them to seamlessly extend capacity from Asia to large enterprise shippers through our Freightos Enterprise platform.”
Jerry Xu, Managing Director of Megacap, adds, “Our passion for emerging markets—whether in Asia, Latin America, or Africa—stems from recognizing their enormous growth potential, yet we see digital logistics still in its infancy there. Through web-based solutions like Freightos, we aim to facilitate instant bookings, real-time pricing, and full visibility into the logistics ecosystem, helping our clients navigate these markets more effectively.
