Etihad Cargo has partnered with the Abu Dhabi Investment Office (ADIO) and Maqta Technologies Group, a trade technology company and part of the AD Ports Group, to introduce new features to the Advanced Trade and Logistics Platform (ATLP).

In May 2020, Maqta Technologies Group developed the ATLP, in an effort to unify trade and logistics services across Abu Dhabi’s air, land, sea, and industrial free zones as its official single trade platform, with the goal to promote Abu Dhabi as a centre for global trade and logistics.

The new update will improve export rate determination and booking processes for air shipments, resulting in better efficiency, accuracy, and user satisfaction for logistics providers in the region.

It will also provide them with real-time access to Etihad Cargo’s international network of customers, making available capacity and pricing immediately visible and streamlining booking decisions. The Etihad Airport Services and Etihad Cargo services will also be integrated onto ATLP as well.

Stanislas Brun, vice president of cargo at Etihad Cargo, said about the collaboration: “Etihad Cargo is proud to partner with Maqta Technologies Group to support the expansion of the ATLP, further driving digital transformation across Abu Dhabi’s logistics sector. This latest enhancement aligns with Etihad Cargo’s commitment to delivering innovative, customer-centric solutions that streamline air cargo operations.”

Dr. Noura al Dhaheri, chief executive of Maqta Technologies Group and digital cluster for AD Ports Group, also commented: “In today’s era of rapid digital transformation, Maqta Technologies Group is at the forefront of redefining trade and logistics. …We are confident that this collaboration with Etihad Cargo will accelerate trade via air, further strengthening Abu Dhabi’s position as a global trade and logistics hub.”
