The integration leverages advanced web services developed by both companies, providing Kuehne+Nagel with seamless access to real-time capacity and pricing across Etihad Cargo’s network.

The companies claim this will offer greater transparency, efficiency, and flexibility in the booking process, ensuring faster and more reliable cargo services.

Stanislas Brun, vice president cargo at Etihad Cargo, said: “Etihad Cargo’s integration with Kuehne+Nagel represents another milestone in the carrier’s commitment to digital innovation and operational excellence.

“By providing Kuehne+Nagel with direct access to Etihad Cargo’s network’s real-time data, this integration enhances their ability to make informed booking decisions, streamline operations, and ultimately deliver superior service to their customers.

“Etihad Cargo will continue to prioritise the carrier’s digital connectivity and development, ensuring technological advancements keep pace with industry demands and further elevate service standards.”

The integration offers Kuehne+Nagel immediate visibility into available capacity and dynamic pricing via Etihad Cargo’s Instant Offer Rate (IOR) tool, enabling swift and accurate booking decisions.

Holger Ketz, global head of air logistics network and carrier management at Kuehne+Nagel, said: “By launching direct eBooking with Etihad Cargo, Kuehne+Nagel can offer its customers real-time access to capacity and pricing.

“This will create greater operational efficiencies and optimise our customers’ experience.”
