United Cargo Partners with CargoAi to Accelerate Digital Transformation in Airfreight

A Strategic Step Toward Modernization

United Cargo has officially announced a strategic partnership with CargoAi, one of the most recognized digital enablers in the air cargo sector. This collaboration marks a pivotal move in United Cargo’s mission to modernize air logistics and deliver a next-generation digital experience for its diverse global customer base. By joining forces with CargoAi, United Cargo is taking bold steps to align with the industry’s growing demand for digital-first solutions.

Expanding Access Through Digital Integration

As part of this partnership, United Cargo’s wide-ranging domestic and international capacity has been integrated into the CargoAi digital platform. This means that more than 23,000 freight forwarders worldwide can now seamlessly access real-time pricing, view available capacity, and complete bookings instantly. The platform’s eBooking capability ensures a faster, more transparent, and streamlined process, reducing the time and complexity traditionally associated with air cargo reservations.

The integration includes three main product categories: General Cargo (GCR), Express shipments, and Perishables (PER) without temperature control. This variety provides freight forwarders with the flexibility to meet different logistics needs—from urgent express deliveries to more routine general cargo shipments—while still benefiting from enhanced speed and visibility.

Strengthening Presence Across Key Global Markets

The partnership covers an extensive range of important trade lanes and regional markets. United Cargo capacity is now digitally accessible for shipments in the United States, including domestic services, as well as in Canada, Ireland, the United Kingdom, Belgium, the Netherlands, France, Switzerland, Germany, Spain, Portugal, Greece, and Italy.

This wide network allows freight forwarders to take advantage of United Cargo’s global reach, while CargoAi ensures that the booking experience remains consistent, intuitive, and efficient across all markets. The integration will be especially valuable for companies looking to manage both international and domestic shipments with the same level of transparency and ease.

Driving United Cargo’s Digital Transformation Strategy

For United Cargo, this partnership is more than just a technology integration—it is a critical milestone in its broader digital transformation journey. By embracing cutting-edge platforms like CargoAi, United Cargo reinforces its commitment to delivering superior customer service through innovation and forward-thinking solutions.

In a logistics industry that is increasingly shaped by digital connectivity and automation, the collaboration positions United Cargo as a leader in adopting tools that promote speed, visibility, and customer-centricity. Freight forwarders benefit directly through simplified access to United Cargo’s network, while the airline gains deeper digital penetration in global supply chains.

Voices from the Partnership

Matthieu Petot, CEO of CargoAi, highlighted the alignment of vision between the two companies:
“United Cargo’s decision to join the CargoAi ecosystem reflects a shared vision for the future of air cargo—one where digital connectivity, automation, and collaboration define how airlines and forwarders work together. By combining United Cargo’s global reach with our technology, we are building a foundation for a more agile, transparent, and customer-centric airfreight industry, ready to meet the demands of tomorrow’s supply chains.”

This sentiment underscores the synergy between CargoAi’s technological expertise and United Cargo’s operational strength. Together, they are shaping an ecosystem where digital tools empower efficiency and enhance customer relationships across the airfreight sector.

Moreover, the integration of express and perishables cargo products highlights United Cargo’s commitment to meeting specialized logistics needs. Whether managing time-sensitive shipments or handling goods with specific requirements, forwarders can rely on a booking system that prioritizes both speed and accuracy.
