Freightos and mas Join Forces to Revolutionize Air Freight Capacity in Latin America

In a significant move for the international freight industry, Freightos Limited, a frontrunner in digital booking and payment solutions, has announced a strategic partnership with mas, a dedicated freighter airline that specializes in cargo operations across Latin America. This collaboration promises to enhance air freight capabilities with an emphasis on real-time eBooking and seamless payment processes for freight forwarders operating in key regions, specifically the US and Mexico.

As part of this agreement, mas's extensive widebody freighter fleet will be integrated into the Freightos platform, providing users with immediate access to booking and payment functionalities. This integration addresses a prominent challenge in the freight industry: the need for quick and efficient access to necessary capacities in a highly competitive market.

Enhancing Capacity and Efficiency

The partnership is particularly timely, as it allows freight forwarders in major hubs such as Los Angeles and across Mexico to efficiently secure air cargo space on mas's fleet. The rollout of this integration seeks to enhance bandwidth options on critical trade routes between North America and strategic destinations throughout Latin America, which are experiencing increased demand.

Pablo Pinillos, CEO of Freightos, highlights the solution-oriented nature of this collaboration. He notes, “Securing main-deck freighter capacity across Latin American corridors has often been bogged down by manual and cumbersome processes. With the integration of Freightos Pay alongside mas's freighter network, we are set to eliminate administrative bottlenecks, allowing for instant capacity bookings that prioritize cash flow flexibility for our users.”

By combining Instant eBooking with Freightos Pay, this partnership streamlines the payment process, reducing financial barriers that commonly impede swift transactions. Traditionally, freight forwarders have had to navigate complex banking procedures to secure essential shipping space, but this new approach will enable them to acquire necessary capacity with less friction and more financial security.

A Modern Approach to Air Cargo

Eduardo Cedilli, Senior Manager, Sales at mas, acknowledges that expanding their digital capabilities through association with Freightos modernizes the way they connect with freight forwarders. “This integration of eBooking and digital payment mechanisms allows us to interact with forwarders precisely when they are seeking capacity, thus enhancing the speed and flexibility of booking processes,” Cedilli stated.

Victor Flores, Digital Transformation Director at mas, emphasized the significance of the partnership in advancing their operations into the modern age. “By merging our dedicated freighter network with innovative digital distribution and payment methods, we are not only improving customer experiences but we are also boosting our operational resilience, enabling us to better serve our client base in the evolving logistics landscape.”
