Korean Air Integrates Direct eBooking Access via Freightos
Initial Phased Launch Provides Real-Time Rates and Capacity on Key Lanes from North America, Europe to Asia
BARCELONA, Spain, June 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Freightos Limited (NASDAQ:CRGO), the leading vendor-neutral global freight pricing, booking and procurement platform, today announced the launch of an integration with Korean Air, a leading global air cargo carrier. The agreement's signing ceremony was held at Korean Air's Shanghai office and officially announced during the Air Cargo Shanghai 2026 event week. Through Freightos, freight forwarders will be able to access Korean Air's real-time rates, live capacity, and direct eBooking capabilities across key global trade lanes.
This integration introduces an additional, streamlined digital channel alongside Korean Air's existing booking infrastructure. Korean Air is adopting a multi-channel digital strategy, while partnering with Freightos as its exclusive launch partner for third-party platform distribution. This allows Korean Air to expand its direct visibility into live capacity and real-time pricing to forwarders through a trusted digital network.
"We are thrilled to welcome Korean Air onto the Freightos network," said Pablo Pinillos, CEO of Freightos. "Providing forwarders with direct, instant access to real-time capacity and eBooking is exactly how we drive greater efficiency and resilience across the global supply chain."
"This is a partnership we are proud to launch, and I'm excited to join the team to kick it off firsthand," added Joyce Tai, Executive Vice President, Worldwide Partnerships at Freightos. "Korean Air is one of the world's premier carriers, and welcoming them onto the Freightos network is a significant milestone for digital freight in Asia."
"Digitalization is a core component for maintaining a competitive edge in the global air cargo market," said Jae Dong Eum, EVP and head of the cargo business division at Korean Air. "By expanding our digital reach through Freightos, we are not simply establishing digital channels but actively delivering a seamless, high-value digital customer experience to our existing forwarders".
Through this deployment, Korean Air connects its extensive global network directly to forwarders. The roll-out addresses primary air cargo gateways across key regional markets, prioritizing major hubs in North America and Europe. Forwarders operating in these activated regions will be able to digitally search, quote, and book shipments instantly across Korean Air's robust fleet of 166 aircraft, including 23 dedicated freighters.
Freightos users in the activated regions will be able to access Korean Air capacity directly through their dashboards. Freight forwarders not yet registered on the platform can secure access by signing up for a free account at webcargo.co.
